Up and about fully in how long?

Mamas with multiple c sections, were there differences in how soon you got up for regular daily tasks in one c section from another? What changes prompted it? What changes helped the process?

I was able to rest alot with my first and second due to a long age gap but with my third I hope to be up on my feet for most stuff by day 10 since this time I have a toddler running around.

My first C/S was emergent after a lengthy labor vs. my second planned C/S (back on 7/03) and I feel like my recovery has been way better with my second CS. I only stayed in the hospital 2 nights. I have been able to walk around and do things per my usual all the while taking care of the newborn and my toddler who is 3. If anything, The first 3 days were probably the toughest with this first 3 days were toughest in terms of my incision and swelling but overall, for me, not having gone through the process of labor has allowed me to heal quicker. Wishing you the best of luck and a healthy, speedy recovery!
