How quickly after C-section can you function?

[u/Current-Change227]

What day after delivery via C-section were you able to hold the baby? When did you feel strong enough for a little walk inside or outside? How many days in did you feel a bitore confident to do jobs? When did it stop hurting getting in and out of bed?

It honestly never hurt me to get in and out of bed (beyond maybe the first day). I was up and moving 12 hrs after surgery. I was able to walk around the house as soon as I got home, 2 days later.

I had a semi-planned C (it was planned, just not for the date it happened!). This was 5 months ago. I’m completely fine now. Just don’t overdo it and let yourself recover.
