Lol that's an impossible question. It depends on so many factors if you have a quick easy labor or a long induction labor. You heal much faster after a vaginal birth. C sec its a long drawn out recovery of weeks but no labor pains if its scheduled. Just know going in pain is normal don't be scared of it. Ignore horror stories many exaggerate. Your body is made for this.
