19 Moms Share What Their C-Section Was Really Like

"I was a bit sorer than I was for my first C-section, but didn’t let it hold me back. We went to the pool—I didn’t swim though—and zoo the week we were home.

I probably should have taken it a bit easier, but single parents don’t always have that opportunity."
