A member asked:

C-section and recovery time: how long and how can i speed it up?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

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.
