How long did it take you to complete recover from childbirth? And what kind of birth did you have - natural no interventions/instrumental delivery/c section.

Elcs. I was a bit slow to get up on my feet initially, but came give after 2 nights, and aside from taking painkillers, and struggling with getting up and down, felt mostly myself by day 3. Felt fine by 2 weeks, though my tummy was slightly sore if I jumped (I wanted to see if I could) and if I poked it hard. I'm having a second, and I'm working on the assumption that I'll hopefully be going out and about again by about day 4, but we'll see.
