Anyone with children?

My daughter has just turned 2, how long do I have to wait til I can lift her? Shes being a little monster at the moment (can probably sense my worries) I have my BA in 13 days. Any tips from those with little ones? Shes too young to understand xx

wow, good luck with that age, my boy is 5, so don’t have to pick him up, but if honest I couldn’t move or even dress him, and only now can I help him down off something, still cant lift him its been 3 weeks…. have you got help? x

Hi I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old I had help for a week I’m now 15 days po and iv been able to lift her for a few days now, also when I couldn’t lift her I’d just let her sit on my knee and have a cuddle x

yeah I guess it affect everyone differently, I had unders and it really affected me, im only just started to feel normal nearly 3.5 weeks after x

I had overs but I don’t think I could lift my 4 year old ha x

Hi I had unders 2 weeks ago and I’m still not lifting my nearly three year old, I still have discomfort and I am careful what I am doing. I am back at work but for anyone having unders I recommend a minimum of 2 weeks off. I’m very pleased with my results though, can’t wait to go bra and Bakini shopping 🙂 xx

Hi Hun, I’m 9 days PO and I’m completely lifting my two year old 🙂 only started to try and lift him today and it was fine. I come down to his level knees bent and slowly picked him up.. My friend was stood by me incase it was to much or I dropped him but I was fine 🙂 xxx

Im having overs, I have help with her father yes and my mother and mother in law but bedtime its just me and her dad. Hope she gets outof this horrible phase shes in quickly! Thanks girls. X

Thanks rhiannon that helps 🙂 shes quite light for her age and not a mardy giirl and can easiky come to me. Its just the getting her in and our of her cot x

@nikki that’s okay hun. My son was my main concern in all of this but he’s been a complete angel …he knows mummy is very sore and says “sore boobies mummy” bless him & he completely keeps clear and is very gentle when cuddling me. I had him completely on my own for the past 3 days with no help and I’ve managed very well xx

Aww I have an almost 3 year old boy who likes being picked up. I am just planning on having lots of cuddles sitting down and I’ve started training him to get in & out of his car seat.

Oh god, I only have help for 2 weeks and have a 13 month old and 4 year old. I thought that would be enough time and I’m planning on unders. So worried now x

@sal 2 weeks with help I personally think is plenty babe. I know you have two kiddies so it be a little harder but by week 1 you can pretty much live like normal again. Obviously everyone is different tho but I think 2 weeks will be perfect 🙂 don’t panic xx

Thanks rhianon, I hope it will bee enough. It’s all booked now so no going back 🙂 xx

The nurse told me not to lift my 2 year old for 2 weeks… I’ll just see how I go I think! Will try and hold off as long as poss… Won’t be driving until I can lift him into his car seat as he can’t quite manage to get in himself. My others are 4 and 7 and aren’t bothered about being picked up so that’s good!

Yet men were unders still struggle now at 22po

Thanks so much everyone. The day after my op my mum has her but I have to put her to bed the next evening. Ill get her to stand on a step and climb in. Fingers crossed this phase buggers off in time. Xxx
