My first csection was an emergency, but it went fast and everything turned out fine! I was up walking around like a breeze the next day, with not too much pain..
I just had my second csection 2 weeks ago. And this one went well too.. the recovery however has been harder and more painful.  The first time my incision was 6 inches wide. This time its about 8 to 9 inches.. which I did not expect actually.. but was due to the scar tissue.
If you have a csection,  I would say definitely take it easy afterwards! Good luck sweetie :)

I just had my 2nd csection almost 2 months ago . Both mine with great ! I was up and walking after bout a day (: it was painful at first getting up bit after that I was good to go and that's how you heal faster to is getting up and moving as much as possible . My 2nd csection also hurt way less then my first one . My oldest will be 16 months this month and after I got home from the hospital from having my youngest. , I was on my own for the biggest parts of the day cause my bf works 7 days a week between 10-12 hrs a day . So I had to do everything on my own . I was healed pretty fast after bout 3 weeks with both mine . I was in the hospital 3 days with my oldest (after having him) I was induced with him so I was in there 2 days of inducing and 3 after I had him . And I was in the hospital 6 days with my 2nd baby . You'll do great !!! Just get up and walk and move as much as you can after your able to walk .(:

I had my first for emergency reason, 18 hours in labor & they was indusing me bc my contractions wasnt that strong & they opend my water but my cervix wouldn't open more than 4cm, my baby heart was so high so was min.. So i went i sign the papers and i was already having the epidural they took me to the room & what was scary that their was 4 male doctors & 4 females & 3 nurses :O
In few minutes i heard my daughter crying and they show her to me but couldnt hold her bc i was bleeding so badly i lost 2 liters of blood , and they put me in special room to keep an eye on me& gave me blood, then they brought my daughter bc she was with the babies doc to make sure every thing is good, and she was very healthy, the other day they wanted me to walk & that was the most difficult part of it i was so dizzy i was crying bc i was scared i'll fall & hurt my self.. But it was fine after few times i was completely fine on my feet and i started to take care of my daughter changing her napy and hading showe, i went home after 4 days of my c section..
& i travels back home after 9 days of my labor ..

Don't be scared everything will be alright.. Just stay relax..

I'm about to have my second c-section. I had a great experience! During the birth its amazing, so comfortable and relaxed. After was a little tough but remember you heal faster the quicker you start getting up and moving! I did the healing process with no pain meds and it was easy as long as I pushed myself to get moving! :)

I had a great experience despite the circumstances. I went to dr one day and he said my preeclamplsia was no longer responding to meds so I was having a csection in 2hrs at 35wks. So we raced home and got the baby bag and things and went to the hospital. When I get there the nurse shaved me and dressed me and gave husband a gown. We then went to the OR and I sat on the end of the bed and they did the spinal block while my husband held my hand. I then lay down and they inserted the cathetar and checked i was numb. Then a couple of minutes later I heard my baby cry and it was precious! Husband cut the cord and then he was placed on my chest and I looked at him in wonder for ages before he went to the nicu and I went to recovery. 4hrs later the spinal block wore off and I had dinner. The next morning the cathetar came out and I had a shower then I was free to go visit him as much as I wanted before we all went home a week later. A week after that I was back to my normal routine but carefully. It was really amazing. Can't wait to have my 2nd baby later this year and hope my next csection goes just as well. Good luck to you and your precious little bub!
