I'm nearly 3 weeks since a planned c-section. (My first pregnancy). Can anyone tell me what to expect from here in terms of my physical recovery? I'm still experiencing pain in my stomach / tummy and it's worse after periods of sitting, lying down or sleeping. I still have a bump, looking about 5-6 months pregnant. Wound is sore in places but seems to be healing fine and has been checked. Trying to do gentle walks daily. Super keen to start suitable exercise eg swimming, longer walks once I'm able to, but I know i have to take it easy.
Can anyone say how long their recovery was and how it progressed from here? And what helped? I'm worried I've reached a plateau and this is as good as it's going to get. I can't imagine how I felt before I got pregnant anymore! I'm 40 by the way, but was pretty fit before all this.
