Im having my 2 csection in June, yes it is painful&the recovery does take longer. as long as you have help especially inthe beginning you should be fine.It's totally worth it.
Ive had both c section and a natural wit c section its a longer recovery and sneezin and coughin u get told how to do it safely and u take meds after to relief the pain while ur recovery i found it very hard gettin up as the pain in stomach really hurt but they are quick and where they do the insition is easerly hidden so u can still where bikinis
