It really depends. I've had two of them and the second surely took longer. They say take 8wks off work for a section. I think it just depends on your body, if you were active or not before pregnancy, and what kind of shape you're in. My second section was done on 12/16/2009 and sometimes when I stretch, cough, or laugh too hard; I can still feel a little pull. It doesn't take but about a week before you can walk without being humped over!! Hope this helped!

Well it is different for every woman I think my friend has had 2 c sections and she was up taking a shower as soon as she got feeling back in her legs but it took me till the next day to even attempt to get out the bed and I was so sore its been 3 weeks since my surgery and its just now starting to heal normally because I had a infection at the incision site and it just stopped hurting it just itches real bad now

I had my baby 12 weeks ago, and I still get little twinges and niggles every now and then, I was really poorly after my section aswell, due to an infection.
This was my 2nd section and its taken me a lot longer to recover than the 1st. I don't think theres a definite time scale to recover, it just depends on yourself
