BA and small children!

Hey I’m just wondering if any mummies here had a BA with children between the ages of 5 and 1? I have 3 small children and just thinking how I’m going to recover and look after my children at the same time. I’m a single mother and family isn’t great. How long does it take to be back to normal duties as I can get help but the help won’t be for long. Help I’m worried big time!

When are you booked in for? I have a 18 month old and 2 and half year old and have my ba booked for 10th april x

I’m hoping 6 days after yours I’m booking tomorrow so hoping the 16th is still available. I’m so worried that I won’t be back in my feet quick enough

Im 2 weeks post op tomorrow, and still cant pick my 14 month old out of her cot by myself, she is a lil chunk and i have had unders, i just dont feel safe and it hurts my incisions :/ Iv had a lot of help from friends and family to the point my best friend has slept every night that my boyfriends had work early! Overs are ment to heal quicker tho but unsure of how many days rest you need, if you pushed yourself and had to could more than likely do it earlier i just dont want to pay all that money to ruin them by doing so much too soon, we also got a play pen for in the living room so that i could sit with her and play without her running off here there and everywhere lol! Looking after my eldes daughter whose 6 has been alot easier i just moved all things id need from the kitchen to counter level for the first week xxx

Yeah I’m thinking about giving my middle one to her dad for the first week and getting friends and family to help during the day with the youngest. I’m going for unders as well. I’m a fast healer so hope I’ll be back on my feet in two weeks. If not 3 hehe I’ll try milk it with my family and friends 🙂

Also what post op bras did you ladies go for I was told that you can get away with maternity bras but I’m not completely sure if that’s true as I have loads of them and if I can get away with using them I will be Lols

Yeah iv healed really quick but i think its because iv tried to take it easy, its emotionally hard and iv cried so many times but i can hold her on my knee, just not bending down to pick her up, definately milk it just get the best recovery you can, i just think it can take me 3 weeks to heal without putting pressure on myself or i could push myself and then end up doing damage and having to take even longer for it too heal, just need to look after yourself, its not often us mums can haha xx

Id double check about maternity bras with your nurse at your pre op, i got the macom, cant wait to get out of it lol xx

Yeah what bras are you using if you mind me asking as I’m so confused on them

Haha fair if I have to I will buy them Lols I’ll get the other half to buy them for my birthday haha

hay hun im worried aswell as iv got a 4 yr old a 2 yr old and a 1 yr old xx xx

Awww Hun when is your op?

mines bookecd for the 21st april but im still saving so mite have to put it back a few more weeks 🙁 hopefuly not tho xxx

Cool I’m hoping to grab the 16th 🙂

aw good luck hun i got refused the finance so that set me back alotttt my bf gave me the full deposit but then needed it back as the finance didnt go thru lol xxx

That sucks I had to get my nan to help get me the finance. Didn’t think she would get it tbh I’m just putting my deposit down tomorrow for my op and then it’s sorting out bras and childcare. You’ll get there I’ve been horridly flat chested for so long only time I’ve ever had boobs is when I was pregnancy my last baby gave me a lovely pair of c cups and that’s what I’m hoping to het back with my ba

yhh i no my mother inlaw was going to do the finance for me but as shes disabled they needed a co signer my mum was ellagable but she refused to do it 🙁 so now im saving harddddd lol iv hated my boobs since i got them lol im a 30 A hoping for a DD/E what size are u hun xx n yh i never got boobs with my pregnancy only after the birth wen breastfeeding as soon as my milk went my boobs went to lol annoyyinggg xxx

Currently I am a 32aaa haha I don’t fit into anything not even teen bras I hate it

aw realy i tryed on a 32 aa and it fit me perfect much to my displeasure lol not even a bit to small n the real funny thing is my bf got it for my 4 yr old coz she was always going on about bras xxx have u got any pre op pics up ? add me if u want hun xx

Ive got 2 kids, a 4 year old and a 1 yr old. I had overs but i couldnt even pick my 1 yr old up untill i was 2 weeks post op, by 3 weeks i was doing most things as normal.x

Im in the same boat, single mum of an 8 month old! Its putting me off booking the op as i dont like relayin on others and i will be so upset not being able to pick him up x

its a hard scarey choice xxx

Yeah it is but when you’ve had enough of not being happy with the way you look it’s something you gotta do 🙂 it’s the first thing I’ve treated myself to in years

Oh niki I’m sure the time will fly by x

lol yhh thats so true hun xxx

Hey girls I’m just over a year with uplift and implants I’ve got 3 children one at 15 6 2 years old I was in a lot of pain with the uplift but and off work for 8weeks but you learn to manage with the baby’s with a lot of mummy power and us mummy’s are made if stronger stuff u need to pick your baby’s up with them close to your body’s without taking on the eight on your arms xx

Best bra is debhams. Shock absorber bra they are a god sent and will keep u n place x

Thank you Ayesha. Yeah I love cuddling my nippers I get them to pretty much climb up me anyway as had back issues for years. Use my legs to with the littlest one I guess it won’t be any different

I have a just turned 2 year old. Only thing I cant do it put her in her bed everything else I can do fine. I have my partner at home and im pretending im in pain tho so he’s doing everything hah.

Hahaha yeah hopefully it won’t take to long

That sucks I had to get my nan to help get me the finance. Didn’t think she would get it tbh I’m just putting my deposit down tomorrow for my op and then it’s sorting out bras and childcare. You’ll get there I’ve been horridly flat chested for so long only time I’ve ever had boobs is when I was pregnancy my last baby gave me a lovely pair of c cups and that’s what I’m hoping to het back with my ba.

Hey hon, me and my nan was also thinking of doing the same thing. What things would my nan need to be eligible for the finance? X thanks

My ba is 8th April. I have a 7 year old and 4 year old and I am a single mum.and family help isnt great.

So I am worrying how I am going to cope, it is easter holidays when I have my op so no school for kids so hoping that the weather will be ok for them to be out in the garden.

How soon will I feel ok to be out walking to shops etc.?

Ive booked mine on the 9th April so I will be recovering over the easter holidays and won’t have to think about anyone taking my 8 year old to school or to cover the holidays as i work mon-wed. she is really good so will be able to help me and can more or less entertain herself. My 2 year old will be at nursery mon-wed plus its good Friday in the holidays so hubby will be having a long weekend off work with easter monday too and can sort the girls out. My father in law is helping on the 9th and 10th of April so the girls wont be at home and I can relax. Still not told my 8 year old has anyone kept in secret from their elder children, I dont want the full school to know? Lol x

Everyone copes differently hun, I had my 15 month old by myself 3 days post op! And I was visiting my friend and went food shopping with my mum the day after! I think if they’re well behaved or can be bribed with a cupboard of sweets and some new DVDs you’ll be fine! Xxx
