2nd c section

For the ladies that have had a second c-section was it easier or harder to recover then the first time?

I truly believe from my own experience that it depend on whether u have stitches or staples..with my first I had dissolve stitches and the recovery was not bad at all..with my 2nd I had staples and the recovery was horrible couldn't move I was in so much pain..sorry not trying to scare anybody

I'm going on my 3rd and final c-section and I found my second one to be a lot easier. I was up moving around faster than my first and I was in a lot less pain. My first was brutal though

I want to know the answer also.  My first was rough I had staples and had no say so in it but I think because im bigger im just not sure and then a staple got infected just a mess.  But not to bad becauae im going for a repeat I just want to know?!?!  The lady at the wic office told me her 2nd was easier than first.  I also want to get a cpanty to put on after csection to help me move and heal quicker.
