[quote=Anonymous]I've had two c-sections, and each was different. The first, I recovered physically quite quickly from and was living in a ranch (1 level) home with no stairs to navigate. I only needed to take regular Tylenol for the pain. I *think* I might have managed OK without help, but who knows, since I had DH the first week and my mom the second. My second CS was an entirely different story. I was taking Percoset and super Motrin for 10 days post-op, my stitches were oozing, and I was living in a three-story home with a toddler. There was NO WAY I could have handled that by myself.

So, to agree with the PP who said that you can't really judge based upon other people's experiences, I say prepare for the worst, and hope for the best. You will need someone to drive you (or at least a very reliable cab) and your DH, if he MUST work (did he even ask his company if he could day a few days off to help you out?), must be reachable at all times and come home early from work. DH and you need to realize that a CS is major abdominal surgery.[/quote]
