Anyone got young children & had a BA?

Hi there im having my BA done on the 25th but im a bit worried about how im going to be after, i have a 4 year old who will be fine & a 1 year old but hes a proper mummys boy and its going to upset me not being able to pick him up and do the usual things with him Can anyone tell me its not that bad please x

Hiya, well I can’t tell you what it will be like after but if it makes you feel better I’m booked in for a ba and I have 2 boys (3 and 1) and my one year old is really clingy! I am a bit worried but think it will be fine! X

Aaw thank you. I hope it’ll be ok. When is yours booked for? x

I’m booked in for the 8th with adamo at highgate! What about you? I’m sure it will be fine! X

25th so 2 weeks to go Have you got someone to look after your kids or do you have to go straight home to them? x

Hi, I had my op last Wednesday and I have a 7 month old baby. Today (day 6) was the first time I could pick up or do anything for my boy and it’s absolutely wiped me out. I am very happy with my boobs and I don’t regret it whatsoever but I will say it’s been difficult not being able to attend to my baby. It’s tiring watching everyone else rally around after you and even though I haven’t been in any real pain 1. Your not allowed to do anything for a week and 2. your not upto doing anything for a week. You really do have to have full time help with your children. Everyone reacts different to the op but I can honestly say even a week on I’m still not up to doing much, I feel weak when I do something and it’s really frustrating. I can move around and everything but by doing too much your not helping your new boobs and the aftercare is really important. xx

Wow bet you can’t wait!!! Thanks for the advice tracey! My sister is having the boys for 3 days and my partner will be home for 11 days, hope that’s long enough! What about you? X

Thank you Tracey. My sister in-law is having my 2 for 2 nights and then my partner will be with me at home to help, my family are very supportive and helpful too so i should be ok. I think im just going to get a bit upset not being able to pick the little one up x

My kids are 2 and my son will be 7 at the time of the op. My son is pretty clued. I’m more worried about what I am going to tell him!

hello i hd my ba on the 30 july and i have 4 children aged 8,6,4 and 6 months, it was hard not being able to pick the baby up for atleast a week, i had my husband at home to help me. i tried to do things but it just made the pain worse and ache so the best advice it to not do anything!!
