My sister had 2 C sections for her 3rd and 4th. Recovery process and pain is normal. But youve to be careful with the stitches to avoid from getting wet or opening. When you cough or sneeze it can be very painful. Highly suggest for atleast after a week (if you can, use like a velcro waist wrap to keep posture straight and not you hunching) Otherwise it can be painful. If tolerance level is high try to do walking and not just seating down. Healing takes long but only if you really take proper care of yourself. Proper confinement with drinking herbs, massage is highly advice. Always use socks to keep ur feet warm. And cushion/pillow as a support when resting. Hope this helps.
