This was my second section i feel i recovered better last time but i was five years younger and didnt have another child to look after !! Any experience anybody ? Thanks

Hi hollin, I was sore for a good 8 weeks, especially when lifting heavy things! Try to avoid lifting your Son in his car seat or anything else heavier than your baby until you are fully healed. Hope you're feeling better soon!

I was a bit sore for a long time - 3 months? The skin felt tender when touched by my clothes, ie my jeans moving up and down. It went eventually. Hope yours does too.
