Work after CS: It will depend on the individual and their OB-GYN. Most some are out for six weeks then go back on light duty. After two weeks you'll probably have a better idea when your body and your family will be ready. Don't rush it though you may be sorry. Give yourself time to heal and gather strength. It will be better overall that way.
