    Hi Megan,it probs sound strange but are you able to make meals and stuff for them? It’s just someone said you can’t lift your arms?

    I have a 3 year old, and my partner looked after him mainly for the first 4 days, he had to go back to work then, and luckily by day 5 I felt much better and did everything myself xx

    I had overs, I had an uplift with implants I went from a 32h to an empty 32e after breast feeding, I had 295/325 overs. I am so pleased with what I can see at the minute. I thought it would be more painful than it is, I’m made up x

    I’m lucky that I have a 9yr old as well so she’s been my little slave lol to be honest I’ve just had to leave my hubby to do most things!! Try to have loads of snacks and easy dinner stuff in and try to put everything you need at a easy reach able level, I nearly passed out when I tried to reach up for some juice xx

    I had mine done 3 weeks ago, my little boy is 4 and little girl was 13 months at time of op. for the first week my husband or my mum looked after them. I was around but to be honest pretty much in bed for the first 3 days. I’m now day 26 post op and have felt back to normal fully for about a week now. Not back in the gym yet as was advised a month. My 13 month old is very clingy to me but was fine… Although couldn’t have done it without my other half and my mum! X

    I could physically make meals but didn’t have any strength :/ my 2 year olds clingy too insists on uppy uppy alot haha but with help your be fine 🙂 avoid the little elbows and dives they try to do lol

    I have a little girl who has just turned one and to be honest, even though i had overs, I would have struggled on my own with her for the first couple of weeks. My hubby took 2 weeks off work and I let him do everything ( the poor love couldn’t wait to get back to work for a rest). I can carry her ok now but I have to hold her differently so as not to hurt my new boobies. I’ve been feeding her in her baby bouncer instead of her high chair since my hubby went back to work just to make things a little easier for me lifting wise, I’m sure you’ll be fine as long as you take things easy. My little babba isn’t walking yet so that’s made things tonnes easier for me too! x

    Yeah I heard that, the recovery is alot quicker,hopefully I can have overs too! What size you going for em? That’s all I’m fussed abawt really is being able to meals and stuff for the little one,even tho I will have help off my patner for a few days. That’s an idea Sharon ill have to get one of them toddler chair thingys,just to make it easyer. Thanks girls 🙂 xx

    My youngest was 11months and on reflection I wouldn’t do it again. I couldn’t lift her for a week and even after that it still hurt. I healed really quickly and really well with no complications so cant imagine if anything had gone wrong. I felt so selfish as she was desperatr to cuddle me 🙁 my 5year old understood not to jump on me but wasn’t happy she couldn’t sit on my knee etc. My hubby had a week off work and did everything. I struggled with getting dressed! X
