Worried about C-section recovery

I'm 36 weeks and for certain reasons I'm told that a C-section is the preferred option for me. I'm worried about the recovery process as it's a major surgery. And how it'll affect moving around and breast feeding and caring for baby etc. Anyone have any experience with C-sections? I know everyone's recovery process is different. But just trying to understand more so I can come to a more informed decision next week. Thanks in advance!

try your best to move about and take the painkillers that they gave. I was up walking or limping on day 2, forced myself go drink lots of water and eat alot to pee and poop. make sure you try to walk more and recovery will be fast
