how long after surgery can i start picking up my 14 month old

does any one know when it is safe/ possible to go about daily chores including picking up, putting in cot and playing etc with a young toddler.

i have no family here and my husband needs to go back to work 3 day post op! should i go to my mums which is a 6 hour journey

hya im 3 days post op now and i still cant pick my baby up he’s 19 month old, and i feel really stiff i would strongly suggest you go to your mums, even though its 6 hours away x

hi, i have a 2 year old, and i asked my nurse even tho shes tiny i cant pick her up till 6 weeks post op! im 3 weeks now and its killing me, i feel like i could pick her up now but i cant its difficult getting her too sleep and things xx

Hi there im 5 weeeks post op and ive got an 18 month old i was picking him up after 4 days and putting him in his cot although your not meant to i had no choice as hes a clingy mummys boy! x

thanks guys your answers have really helped.yeah my beautiful baby girl loves her hugs contact so its going to be tricky i think. but good

Hiya all, yeah, I will have the same problem! I have no family here and my partner works abroad – at least he will be here the first 3 weeks but then I have to cope with my 12 months old boy on my own as well. And he is very clingy at the moment – have to arrange something else where he is going to sleep and all. Will be stressful but well I got no other choice either x

hi luna i was really worried about it and wanted to postpone my BA but i spoke to the nurse at MYA and she put my mind at rest.

you will just learn to do thing a bit differently like getting down to your childs level more ( ie no lifting but you can hold them) and i think im going to have to put my baby to bed in our bed and wait till my husband gets home to lower her into her own cot , it will be difficult at first but we should get used to it . and hugs on the sofa are the just going to have to be the way forward good luck when and who is it doing your op?

Hi hun,

I was also picking my 10 moonth old up from 4 days…again I do not think I was suppose to but I jjust made sure I was really careful, I 7 weeks post op now and all is fine. x

great news thanks alilou, i think its just a matter of comment sense and listening to your own body xx

Hi Astrid, yeah I was thinking to let my little one sleep with me in bed or make him a little nest next to my bed so I dont have to lift him up that much. I think we will be alright though I am having my BA with Mr. Kazzazi on the 26th of November – not sure if I go with 300 or 340. Am a 34 AA at the moment and want to be a C Cup. What about you?? xx

hi im with mr Adamo on the 10th im 30 a/b at the mo was thinking 340 or 380cc its so exciting x

I know it really is, am just so unsure bout the size but I guess we all are lol xxx

hey i got 3kids under 5youngest one one i was bacvk within 3days i also had unders xx

thanks shelley that gives me a bit more hope xx
