Managing post op with an 8 month old daughter…

Hi girls my op is 16th feb.. I’m just worried about the pain after my op and how I will be able to manage tending to my daughter as I won’t have much help from others!! Has anyone else managed this or have any tips? I’m dreading it I’m constantly picking her up throughout the day 🙁 xx

Hiya
I’m looking to have my Ba on the 1st march and have a 8 month old too, luckily my husband is taking some time off but I have the same concerns. They say you can’t lift them for a week but ladies I have spoke to say leave as long as possible. I’m dreading the first 2 days as I’m thinking I am going to be feeling rough and will be in bed, especially if they are upset and want mummy:-( x
Good luck x

Im worryed about this 2 hun i have a 1 yr old who lks constant cuddles and being carryed around, my bf works full time and we dnt want to tell our familys cause there judgemental, my ops the 16th of april xx

Hi I have a 6 month old and a 4 year old. I had my ba on 21st jan. my partner took a week off work to basically do everything! Then it was up to me! I wasn’t really in too much pain, felt quite ill the first day then tired and uncomfortable and sore the following days. I was worried about carrying my baby in his car seat but after the first few days it was fine. I met mr traynor before and he said I’d be able to lift my baby up to waist height. I didn’t lift him at all in the first week. I can now do everything I did before. I should point out though I had overs and the healing process is quicker compared to unders. Hope this helps xx

Hi had mine done yesterday I had overs , I’m realy surprised how easy it is to move about I can move my arms pritty freely but I would lift them above my head . There no change in strength at all . My two year old is a hand full and has been climbing up the sofa to hug me . I’m sitting up most of the time . And there’s no real pain when I’m Huging him. Walking round is easy i do feel the presure of my stiches when i walk but holding my breasts helps with that. Xx

Thanks girlies I’ll let u know how I get on xx
