I just had my C-section done a few weeks back. I try to avoid carry heavy stuffs at the 1st month. For faster wound recovery, i did more walking and scratching. External wound will take abt a mth to recover. But, if you ask me on the overall (inner and external) wounds recovery, it will take years to recover as our gyne cut through 7layers of our skin to have our LO delivered safely in our hands.
