lifting children etc

hi, just wanted to ask any mummies out there whove had a ba and/or nipple lift how they got on afterwards in relation to pick up their kids? i have a 3 year old and 18 month old and my fiance can only have the day immediatley after my op off. im worried how im going to get my youngest into her cot and bath and how i will get them into their car seats when i can drive.

Not to mention the fight we have getting them into shopping trolleys, high chairs, pushchair etc!! xx

hi, I have an 11 week old, and I cant lift her at all for at least a week! my partner has to get her out of the moses basket at night for me so I can feed her….you are going to need help! xx

my partner will be around for the first 4 nights then he will be working so ill be on my own. Ill have to get her a little step so she can get in on her own with minimal help from me. its just when she wakes up and wants to get into our bed little monster xx

I’m only 2 days post op, but managing with the help of my older daughter, partner and friends, you also cant drive for a week….I’m sure you’ll manage, your 2 are big enough to do most things with some help! good luck xx

it took me two whole weeks before i could even start to resume normal things, and over 18 days before i could drive and pick my son up (hes four, but a small four), everyone heals differently, im usually really fast, but my reaction to the GA had knocked me for six, and even took over the two weeks for my bruise from the caunnula to go (usually bruises last a few days max), id ask for more help off someone, if you can, its not as easy as people say xx

I’d agree Joanna, I thought I’d be able to pick her up as she is only 8lb (she was a prem baby) but I wouldnt even attempt it, although I have been cleaning the kitchen floor this morning and cleaned the bathroom haha…somethings I just can leave! I do think I could drive, but I’m not going to attempt it until my stitches are out…..I did have overs though, and they tend to heal faster and are less painful xx

oh no i am going to struggle. my mum works my sister lives in swansea and i dont really have any friends who would be willing to help

Im sure i wont be the first or the last though to struggle with children xx

you’ll manage…everyone does! just be careful though, you dont want to pop your stitches! and dont drive or you wont be insured as you are told not to drive for 7 days! good luck and enjoy your new boobies! xx

Hi, I had my op on Monday, I have a three year old and a 5month old. My mum has Been here to help and husband helps a lot on a night. I am hoping that I can pick my baby up next week tho, after I’ve been for my tape off, as my mum is going on holiday so I’ll be on my own during the day. Feeling ok and I have been able to do other stuff like play with my eldest, just don’t want to lift anything too heavy yet.

I have two small kids simillar age & I’ve really struggled to the point that my mum came on the second day & took them away to her house for a week!

I was in such a pain that I couldn’t even feed or dress myself for the firs 4-5 days, never mind looking after the little children. I definitely wouldn’t be able to lift baby out of the cot for at least 10 days..

You need to get some help huni, don’t risk damaging your boobs.. xx

happy healing sgreed30!! im sure i will be fine but it is just another thing to worry about on top of the nerves etc xx
