can anyone tell me if a repeat c-section recovery is faster? or not as sore as the first? thanks.

Mine was easier, but I think it was because it didn't follow a 24 hour labor like my first!

My first csection was so painful but I had been in labour for 3 hours but my 2nd csection was great I was walking around shopping day 3. With my 3rd csection I recovered in about 3 weeks but it was definatly more painful than 2nd but not as bad as the 1st, right in the middle. good luck

My 2nd one was WAAAAAYYYYY worse because my incision did not close. This is one of the risks of multiple c-sections - the docs can really screw up if they don't excise the old scar tissue and try to close you up at the old scar tissue. That is why my incision wouldn't close.
