How long does it take to recover from a c section?

Question

I am wondering long to expect it to take to recover from a first time c section.

Answer

They say if you can get up and walk around that same first day that you will be better off.

Answer

I'm currently recovering and walking definitely does help. I'm on day 2 and I'm walking around and doing things for myself with little to no pain. 😊 And I'm a big girl lol.

Answer

This will be my third c-section recovery time is usually 8weeks meaning your stitches are heald enough to go back to your regular life but as far as driving and things like that long as your not on ur meds and feel funny you should be ok to do but no heavy lifting I say till u have ur first appointment back with ur OB or u could open your stitches I did that with my first child and that was no fun

Answer

Depends on your body. Everyone heals differently, I had an emergency with my first and after about two weeks I was pain free. Best advice is to stay on top of your medicine and make sure you get up and walk around.

Answer

It took me at least two weeks to be able to do everything for myself again and not be in bad pain. Everyone is different tho.

Answer

Thanks ladies!
