The only painful part of csect for me was the epidural jab. I’ve 0 pain tolerance and post surgery did not hurt thanks to painkillers. You might feel uncomfortable but it’s not painful pain, it’s the muscle cramp/ache kind of pain. Recovery was smooth but was on painkillers for the first week. Always wear ur binder if you do csect cos the binder helps to keep the tummy in place and reduces any discomfort. It was awkward when I took out the binder like I couldn’t function as per normal hahah. Post natal massage I did after 21 days. (As long as you can lie on ur tummy without feeling any pain,should be good to go)
