How long do it take to heal after a c section?

Six weeks: Your incision should be pretty much healed in about six weeks. But it may take longer to regain your energy, and really feel back to normal. Give yourself some time: you're also getting used to a new baby! congratulations.

Varies: 3-4 days is the typical hospital stay after a c-section. A total of 4-6 weeks is usually the complete recovery time although some women take a little longer to recover completely.
