HELP- Care of children post op????

i have a little boy who is nearly 4! when i have the op i will have to drop him off each day at nursery and pick him up, will this be too much?? Not sure what else i can do ??

i’m gonna be in the same boat hun,i have a 3 year old,and 7 month old.been for my pre-op today and the nurse said get help for the first 5-7 days,ur not supposed to drive for a week after your op and she said not to lift my children for a week luckly my mum is taking 3 days of work so that will help.is there anybody who could pick/drop him off even jus for a few days??

i really dont know what i can do i have him booked in nursery all week anyways from 8.30 am til 5pm but its just getting him there and getting him home!! i dont know what to do!? its a good 10 minute walk from mine to the nursery, and then thats not counting walking back again!! i think 40 minutes of walking a day post op will kill me my bf starts work at 7 so he cant drop him off and doesnt get back til 6 and im not telling anyone else, i want it kept a secret!! xx

hi, im 1 wk po, i have a 9 yr old and a 7month old baby, i had help for the first 6 days, my 9 yr old was no prob at all and the only thing i couldnt do for the baby was pick him up, i could still feed and dress him, you would have to walk, and have all your lunches and uniforms sorted in advance, i asked my daughters friens mum if she could take her for me, she picked her up every day for a week. try and get some help in when you can xxx

thanks hun, the only problem i face with asking for help is people working out or finding out what ive had done which is the last thing i want to happen, i think im going to have to get my boyfriend to book a week of leave in the new year x

Like jenwal says, its just the lifting.. i have a 9 month old and was doing most things but lifting… the longer you can leave it until you have to take the weight the better you will heal.. the walk will be tiring but it wont halm your scars and to be honest i was feeling ok after a few days

xx

PS I was told no lifting baby for 6 weeks… well that aint gonna happen! Im lucky ive had help last week and hubbie is off this week but then im on my own!

xx

ememz I’m same as you hun! I have my op on a fri & following monday i have to drive for school runs for my eldest two as live 7 miles away & look after my 7mth baby on my own as hubby away till nxt summer!! No else knows about my op either as don’t want to start having to explain myself! I drive an automatic tho so fingers crossed that will help x x

its a real difficult one!! i think im gonna have to wait til january and get my bf to have a week off, i feel so guilty and selfish but its the only way it can be done for me xx

I’m bothered about this 2, my 9th old is fab but my 2 year old just loves using me as a climbing frame!! He’s so boisterous, I’m scared!xxx

Aww bless you hunni my Sons the same! Likes jumping all over me and hugging me constantly!! Not good in terms of recovery lOl x

I know im really bothered cos I’m havin lipo arm lift uplift & ba all together & I know some stitches r gonna burst somewhere!!!xxx

Hi I have my op in 10 days and am also worried as I have a 10 month old son ! I have someone helping me for the first week but I’m worried I won’t even be able to cuddle him for ages xx
