I had 2 normal births and then suddenly had emergency c sect for my 3rd. I was really2 scared cause it’s my first time but i’m quite amazed by it. I did not feel any pain after the meds wore off, i was able to stand and shower 2nd day onwards. The backpains will still be there for around 2 weeks or so other than that. I’m fine. After the 3rd week i was already doing housework because i had no helper. BUT this will be different for all moms ya? Just that i was lucky i was not in any major/extreme pain.
