I mean. It was definitely the worst pain I've ever experienced, but I healed quickly. Moving around and walking will help heal faster. And, except as much help as you can get. It will be hard to move the 1st 24 hours, so, having someone there to change diapers and care for the baby will help you more than anything.
Bring a heating pad! After the surgery, you will have really bad gas pains. The heating pad will help get rid of the gas. Seriously. It's a LIFE SAVER.
