I had an EMCS first time, and will be trying to get an ELCS for the second.
Mine was pretty easy. I had to get moving straight away because baby was in SCBU, so I was moving much sooner than most other mothers and it really helped with my recovery so I'd definitely advise that. It's painful and tiring to at the very start but well worth it in the long run. I was making small trips about a week after and went to a big event at 3 weeks.
Honestly, moving so quickly was the main reason I was able to get mobile so quickly. You really won't want to, you'll want to stay resting, but it'll help you so much if you force yourself too... obviously don't push yourself too hard, work within your limits, but try to take small, slow walks round the ward asap.
There were others on my ward who didn't move straight away, and a few days later they were really struggling.
The feeling, well you don't feel much. You can feel pressure when they're trying to pull the baby out, and for some reason you feel pressure on your chest too, as if somebody is sitting on you, but once the baby is out you don't feel much. Just feels numb.
Your belly will probably feel numb for a while after too.
It was all over quite quickly once it began. Rushed into theater, prepped, got baby out and that was it.
As yours will be ELCS, it'll be more mellow. Less rushing round.
I have no regrets, and will push for c sections in future.
I'm sure, as yours is ELCS, it'll be so much more chilled. If your baby is fine and no complications (because all births have risks), they might put baby on you for a moment too, for you to meet, dad will get to hold the baby too. If they don't breath straight away or other complications, they'll go to a small table in the corner and work on the baby for a minute and let you see it after, just like vaginal birth.
Good luck!
