BA and an 18 month old

6 days post op just had tapes off and back at work tomorrow (travel agent so not to much effort required) I’m so worried about something going wrong n wondered when people started picking up / carrying there kids again coz nurse has just told me 6 weeks but that’s unrealistic really but really don’t want to mess anything up with my recovery

i would go with what your body tells you hun…it must be hard having a toddler and not being able to pick them up…just maybe wait a little longer…i agree 6 weeks is unrealistic…your body will tell you if you are doing too much xx

i am only 1 day post op and feeling kinda rubbish at motherehood!!! i cant cuddle my kids without thinking im gonna get hurt… x x

i think it all depends on how u feel hun x x let your body tell u when ur ready xx

I am having my op in October and my son will have only just turned 2. He is such a mummys boy and quite clingy to me so i am dreading it! My mum is taking a week off work so she can help out with him. I think i will have to go live upstairs for a week to pretend i’m not there, otherwise he would want me to pick him up all the time! xx

It’s rubbish feeling bit sad today missing my cuddles but she is so hyper I no she will hurt me n I feel guilty that my mum has had her so much already as well as when I’m at work over the weekend I think it’s just my hormones today haha x

it won’t be for long lexie…hang in there hun xxx

Thanks Hun the new names have cheered me up haha xx

Aww girls I’m 15 days po and my baby keeps standing at my feet crying for me to pick her up she only 13 months…. It’s breaking my heart …. I’ve sat on the floor cuddling her to try and be a good mummy hehe xx. I have lifted her out of the cot and into the car … And I’ve carried her down the stairs and stuff and I feel fine doing that xx my mum keeps coming round on a night to put her into her cot for me cause my hubby is working away boo xx

lol lexie…just trying to inject a bit of fun xx

Hi girls. I have a nearly 3 yr old n nearly 2 yr old. I def didn’t lift them for the first 2 weeks. I’m now just over 5 weeks n I do pick them up n put them in highchair ect. I’d say I started about 3 ish weeks. Getting right down to their level n kind of using ur knee to lift them more, if u get me I also told them to put the legs around me as I did find it hard to just hich them up on my hip as they’d rub/bash my boob.

When I first had them done I thought how the he’ll am I gonna do this n not pick them up. But everyday u get a little bit more useful it gets better. I can’t believe it’s been 5 weeks already feels like it was ages ago. It will get easier for u girls I promise try hugging them on ur lap with a pillow between ur boobs n bubba it’s not quite the same but it’s much better than nothing xxxx

Genius gnats I’m doing that right now hahaha xx

Thanks Girlys xx

i cant wait untill the healing part, im having mine done in 5days. i have a 31month old and a 14month old and im really that im not going to be able to pick them up, they are very clingy…luckily my partner is about for few weeks to help lift etc…

xx

Ahhh this is something that has been bothering me ever since I booked my op!!

I have a two year old and an 11 month told and I am having a TT in December, and planning to have uplift and implants when I have recovered from that.

I plan to stay upstairs majority of time as I know it will be so tempting to try and pick them up, but hopefully I will be able to have snuggles with them while I am in bed without the thought of them going to hurt me…

A lot of people don’t understand or can’t accept why I am having it done at this time, but like I have said to them – I would rather have it done while they are this young so they don’t remember it and think that image matters. Luckily, my mum and mother in law are understanding and will be there every step of the way for me, and my husband is supportive too… well he is paying for it!! lol xx

Awhh lexi,Anita this is so upsetting. but time soon flys by. I have had my grandaughter who has only just moved out with her momma since she has been born. I have held her hugged,cuddled her everyday shes now 18 months old. when I had my BA I was the same gutted could’nt pick her up only could hug her sittin on floor and she loved puttin her head on me. I am still not properly able to pick her up due to a Infection. but each day gets better. I know how u girl’s feel dont worry ur little ones know mommy loves them and they can sense mommie dont feel to good. dont get upsetting urselfs It wont be long before ur back In the ball park playing with them xx

Yeah I totally understand your worries! I have a 1 and 2 yr old, the youngest is very clingy and wants cuddles all the time!! I was away till the second day post op but when I got home I got them both to climb on the sofa and sit on my lap and cuddle that way. It’s so hard not to lift them up, I did on day 4 or 5 can’t remember which one but, I really paid for it the next day! Try and resist the urge and listen to your body. Sorry just realised this went on a bit lol!!! Xx

No it’s great ladies as it has been so upsetting for me thinking iv been selfish having ba but luckily my bf and family so supportive n u ladies to xxx
