This will be my 2nd caesarean and I was wondering how long did it take for you to recover?

First time I was back up and doing everything normal (major fitness freak) within 5 weeks. 2nd time 6-7wks and third time round, well 10wks later and I'm still having problems so I guess they can all differ.

my first one i was up and about a couple of hours after the c/s and by the time DH went back to work 2wks later, i was back to normal

2nd time round there was complications in surgery and i didn't get out of bed until day 2.   i still recovered pretty quickly though, was out shopping the day after i 'got out' and basically back to normal 2-3wks later.

it can vary on alot of things, but i'd think generally about the same length of time as the first.   maybe a little longer because you've got more kids to look after and it's harder to get the rest you need

With DS he was born at 7.25pm at night and they wanted me up and about 12 hours after the op. From memory I think I started to come right by week 3.

When did you start driving again?

It took me 3 weeks to recover from my first & only a week or so for my second.
