Before the C-section, the doctor attempted delivery with forceps and I had an episiotomy. It took 3 months before I could walk without pain. What part of that was due to the T-cut, and which part was due to the events preceding it, I don't know.

I had a horizontal cut with DC2. Felt so good I thought I could run a marathon after, and I only run if I'm being chased.
I had I had a horizontal cut with DC3. He was breech. The first three days were painful, but by a week out I felt much better.

I don't mean to hijack, but were you offered a c-section as an alternative to the forceps in the first place?

My DD was born at 33+6, also a previa situation. She weighed 4lbs, 10 oz and was in the NICU for 12 days. Day 1 she needed assistance breathing but after that she breathed and maintained her temperature well. She needed to learn how to eat.

By her due date, she was a chubby looking baby and gained weight like crazy. She’s perfect.

No, I wasn't. Believe me, I wish I had been.
