How does a c-section feel like? Please share your experiences.

I have had 2 c-sections and the first one was the hardest and most painful. The second, I knew what to expect, but it was still hard to move around. I was literally walking hunched over the first two weeks. I think using a stepping stool to get in and out of bed and having tons of pillows eased the pain a lot when moving along with a great support system.
