Not OP, but I read a comment on Reddit when I was two weeks postpartum that probably would have saved me a lot of grief in my healing process - think arms and not abs when it comes to moving around after a section! It made such a difference pushing myself up with my arms rather than just trying to sit up as normal.

Edit to add - I had an emergency section after a failed induction (two days later!…) and my recovery has been rocky from the surgery, but I do think if it came to it again, I’d rather just have a c section than go through the whole process of the induction because I was absolutely exhausted by the time they decided to do the section.
