I had a c section due to my history of hemoptysis. I got admitted in my 8th month for it & they were afraid to have me go through labor.
I was in for 2 weeks before my c section so my lungs were nice & clear. I still did my treatments etc, but not much came up.
I found the pain worst immediately after, but easily controlled. I had a spinal & not an epideral so once the spinal wore off....all I used was tylenol.
I had no real issues, but that is the way my pregnancy was. I actually was surprised it took so long for my hemoptysis to rear its ugly head.
