How bad is the physical recovery after givin birth

A random source of anxiety for me is hearing about the physical aftermath of childbirth -- some things I've heard in passing is how horrible and impossible it is to poop for a while (lol), how you will always pee when you laugh or sneeze, you body changes shape and never goes back, etc etc. It's unlocked a new fear not just of the pain/trauma of childbirth, but also recovering from giving birth and losing my body as I know it. Would love to hear some honest answers of how post-birth recovery was like for those of you who have gone through it and if you ever "fully" recover from it.
