I've had three and will be having #4 in July!!! I think they get easier because you know how to plan..I have a great support system and that def helps...lots of extra hands around to help out after I come home, plus my church family brings meals for the first week too, which is soooo nice...I also freeze lots of meals so I don't " cook" for weeks...I just concentrate on recovering!!! And of course cuddling with the baby!!  ;-)

Great question,  I'm having my 2nd section on July 3rd. My first one was pretty easy. Off pain meds in 8 days.

yes my 1st  was extreamly painful. was so nervous when i had my 2nd daughter and just when i thought i would go bad it was quite a breeze the only thing for me was the 1st get up then from there took me about 2-3 days to actually walk. Good luck!

Thanks ladies! That makes me feel better. I had my first c-section at 16 and now I'm 33 and having another in July.

My first was a really rough recovery then 2 years later I had my second and it was very easy we had people over that weekend and went out to dinner, it only took me about 3-4 days to recover and feel good again. I will have my third c-section on May 4th.

I've had three c sections and will be having a 4th in may.  In my experience every c section was easier to recover from.  Mostly because I knew what to expect etc..
