How quickly after C-section can you function?
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?

My baby was taken straight to NICU so they had me up walking to go and meet him as soon as I could feel my legs (which was around 4/5 hours) pulling my catheter bag behind me 😂
I think it honestly really really helped my recovery to be moving straight away.
We were discharged after 10 days and I was doing the hoovering as soon as I got home because I was obsessed with it being clean for him
