I took 2 weeks for my 2nd and 3rd (wasn't doing daycare with my first). I was fine by 2 weeks - both natural w/no epidoral or anything though, no c-sections. Sure I would have loved more time off just so I could sleep in the mornings, LOL, but physically I was fine to work with the kids. We took it easy, no trips to the park right away and there was a movie hour once or twice a week but my families were all perfectly fine with that.
