I had a C section 16 years ago and it wasnt so bad... My first was born naturally 21 years ago and I was up and around in about the same amount of time. There are a few things that are harder with a section but honestly, it was easier the second time around... I was up in a few hours. Dont get me wrong, there is pain, but not any that isnt worth every second.
Good Luck to your friend.
