Has anyone here at a myomectomy to remove a fibroid and a C-section delivery?

Had a myomectomy to remove a very large fibroid sitting on uterus and was recommended that any future deliveries should be C-section. Just want to know if a section is easier to recover from than a myomectomy, as I couldn't imagine looking after a new born, considering how I felt after surgery?! TIA

Hi, I joined the site recently and just saw your post. I had a myomectomy to remove a number of large fibroids and a c-section about 5 years later. It took me over 2 months to get my strength back after the myomectomy but I was up about within a week of my c-section. Not sure if you’ve had your surgery yet, but hope this is helpful. All the best!
