What's the pain like after a C section? Is it really painful? Any experiences?

I was just really sore for a few weeks. It wasn't unbearable pain

yes very painful...gotta take it REALLY EASY

It was painful for me the first 2 days, but they made me get up and walk the day after and walking honestly helped, so did keeping up with the pain meds

its not to bad. i had one with my daughter 6 years ago and one with my son 5 years ago and you cant see my scar now. they glued me shut because i didnt want staples or stitches on the out side. just when you laugh or cough use a pillow to place over your stomach for the first few weeks after it.

I was up walking as later the same day. was on meds for pain for 2 weeks...I had to take it easy and I had lots of help around the house. it was bad on the ride home from the hospital, getting in and out of bed and up and down...by 4 weeks I was pain free and by 6 weeks I was able to return slowly to normal activities

the first 2 days were the worse. just don't move fast or suddenly. take it easy the first week or 2 I unpacked my house from day 3 til I was done and I was sore for a long time. I can't sit still
