I had one with my first, I got up and going as soon as I was allowed, and it made a difference. When I walked in the hospital I made sure I did so standing up tall and walking slowly but normally. I only took one percocet after leaving the hospital and motrin for just a couple days. The pain wasn't too bad after. If you baby it too much the recovery is likely going to take longer.

Ive had 2 and going to have my 3rd on the 15th of march...

Everyone is different, i was in more pain with my second than my first. I was in the hospital for a week with my first and out the next day with my second.

Dont eat 12 hours before, you will feel cold due to the room is freezing!

You will feel pressure and movements of your baby, you will be in the recovery room for a couple of hours, baby is out in min 10 minutes, takes a min of half hour to close you back up.

The faster youre up and walking the better.
