How long is the recovery period for unders??

I’m a midwife and I’ve booked off 2 weeks off work for by BA in feb, I thought 2 weeks would be long enough to recover, but now I’m worried! I want to have unders and from what I’ve been reading the recovery period is longer for unders than overs, but how much longer???

Everyone heals differently honey,but from what I have read on the the forum,members in your profession take longer than 2 weeks,then go back on light duties.xxx

Thanks Tina 2011, i’ve asked for 2 weeks holiday and then to do clinic for a week, then have another week holiday! Do you think I should have 3 weeks holiday all at the same time, then do a week of clinic after that?

I think your main concern will be stretching,arm movement,as I am sure that I have read this can affect the scaring,I would personally take as much time as you can to make sure that you are well on the way to recovery in terms of healing,everyone heals differently,you could book the extra time off and find you don’t need it,but at least if it is booked you can relax and concentrate on resting,I think the 3 weeks all together then clinic would be the best option honey.xxx

Ok, thanks Tina2011, I’m gonna take your advise! X
