I know someone who had a baby about 10 months ago by c-section....now she's going to have another one on Thursday ( yes, that's right, a 10 month old and now a new born

) I have never had a c-section nor do I know anyone who has...
But when she had the first one she was 90% bed ridden for a solid 2 weeks and in
extreme pain...the next 2 weeks she could get around some what but it was as if she had been in a car accident, very slow and still very uncomfortable....
She's so afraid it's going to happen again this time....I told her that maybe the first time was unusual and it wont be as bad this time....So my ? is, are c-sections that debilitating and she's most likely going to have a repeat like the last time?
