how long does it take to start feeling normal and be able to get up and move without hurting so bad after a c section?

Okay :) I'm fine if I'm either paying done by or walking around but to get up hurts so bad I wanna cry sometimes... and I'm getting married in a little over 5 weeks so I'm hoping I'm back to normal or close by then lol

everyone is different. I was up and walking the day my son was born. I didn't need my pain meds when I got out of the hospital. just took Tylenol for the occasion that it started hurting. movement helps ALOT!

@kendrah3, ^^^yeah that.... i had no choice but to get up and move around and do everything from day 1... i also stopped the pain meds after a week and was close to being pain free at 3-4 weeks

everyone is different but for me I didn't need pain meds after 2 weeks and by 4 weeks had no pain.
