I can’t remember but I’d say after my second section at about 4 weeks I felt ‘physically’ well. After my first section, it was definitely more like 6-8 weeks x
I'm almost 6 weeks post c section and physically in terms of walking around etc I feel fine. Very little pain etc. However I do have a minor infection so thats fun. I'm still unable to do things but I think at week 3 I started feeling a bit more myself. I still don't feel normal however I think that will be a few months.
I’m 3 months pp now and feel pretty much back to normal. Other than my scar has gone keloid so can feel itchy at times 🙄 i definitely didn’t rest as much as I should have and hindered the speed of my recovery
I’m 8 weeks pp and am fine with walking around and lifting my toddler etc. but the actual incision is not properly healed yet, which is frustrating. I felt a sharp pain in it one night a couple of weeks back when I was burping the baby and his foot just caught it wrong. This created a bit of a tear. I’m still not doing any proper exercises and wouldn’t run or anything like that yet. It’s so hard trying to rest when you have other little people to look after and a house to maintain! X
It was about 2/3 months before I felt physically “normal” again. I pushed myself far too hard though and made my recovery much longer than it needed to be. The tiredness lasted much longer than expected too x
