First off Congratulations!! That is wonderful news!!!
I was a nurse at an Ob/Gyn office for many years....
I have had 4 kids, all c-sections, and all were totally different recovery times. I think alot depends on how YOU feel after delivery. You may be on bedrest before hand (I was on bedrest for 6 wks before my 3rd was born because of blood pressure issues). I have seen some women take months to feel back to normal and some bounce back in a couple of weeks. I always recovered quickly from mine - too quickly to suite my Doctor who was always telling me to rest more LOL! I would give yourself at least 4-6 wks recovery time just to heal and spend time with your baby. Especially if you are going to breast feed you will need that time to establish a good milk supply. It's nice just to have that time to get to learn your baby and sleep when you can. Always sleep whenever you can when baby is a newborn!! I can't stress that enough
Good luck
