coping on my own with kids!

Hi ladies, well I am now 9 days post op and starting to feel loads better pain wise after having 500cc unders.
the first week was really painful for me and Im only just feeling able to do the basic things around the house.
I didnt realise how utterly useless I was going to be! Lol!
Anyway hubbie is back at work on Monday and Im rather worried about how Im going to cope with getting my youngest (16mths) into his buggy, car, push him in his buggy up the hill to school with the older two who are 6 & 4 etc..
did anyone have the same worries? And how did you cope afterwards? My main concern is pushing and maneuvering the buggy because I tried today and it hurt like hell! : ( xx

Hi I am 6 days post op and have four kids my eldest being 15 yrs but has her own life I’m told lol

My other three are 7,4 and 3 yrs I am a single mum and have coped really well I set each of my kids little helpful tasks which will help mummy while I can’t reach above my eye brows lol they have been spot on it helped that I sat them down and explained everything to them – this week has been amazingly easier than I anticipated I have managed to get to school and collect the kids and all with little hassle
