Managing With Kids After BA

How’s Everyone Coping With Looking After There Little Ones After Surgery, My Partner Only Has 2 Days Off & Then Ill Be On My Own Really Scared With How I’m Going Too Cope With A 3year & 8Month Old.. Has Anyone Else Managed On There Own? Or Do I Really Need Too Be Looking Into Getting Extra Help Of Some Sort Even Though It’s Very Unlikely I Can 🙁 I See Pains At Its Worst With Most People Day 4/5? Any Advice? Thanks xx

Following because mine are 3 and 16 months. My baby is very big and heavy and permanently attached to me. I’m really worried about this x

Me too! I have 3 year old boy & im a single parent my mums really good but she works during the day. He’s so rough with me as it is but loves me picking him up i’m going to feel so cruel x

I have my op Wednesday and have 4 kids , 9,6,3 and 10 months and not walking and is a little fatty lol ! Hubby only has 3 days off so then I’m alone with my 4 plus 2 step children !
I will update to let you know how I’m getting on .. Or wether I’ve left home haha xx

Jodie just pack your bags & leave now that sounds like a nightmare good luck with that! & good luck for your op x

I’m worrying myself. My oh is off tomorrow but then back in work. My mum is coming to help on Thursday for a week. Little one is 8 months. Hoping I will manage until Thursday xx :$

Hi girls I have a 19month young baby.. And me personally I couldn’t deal with her until my 2-3week. I wasent able to pick her up propely until 3week post op. Just try and get as much help as you possibly can. You need to rest to the max xx

I’m sooo worried about this too! I’ve got a 10, 8 yrs and 10 month old! The baby is so clingy too! She also sleeps on our bed and is cuddled to sleep, so dreading getting kicked in the boob! Plus it’s school holidays when I have my op in 2 weeks so got all 3 to look after all day long! My hubby is gonna take as much time of as I need him for but I would love to know how long it’ll be before I can pick my daughter up again.
I’m also having an uplift so I imagine my healing will be a lot longer than a standard BA

Following too as I have a very active two year old boy! X

Same here I’m in tomorrow I’ve also got a two year old little not sure how I’m going to cope with jot picking him up for a big cuddle 🙁 first time I’ve been away from him for a whole night that’s gonna hurt x

I’m so worried about this…I have a 3 year old and a very chunky 6month old!
Hubby is going to be with me for 10days to look after them, but then he has to go back to work! I’m too worried about my 3 year old as I don’t need to pick her up, but I can’t get away with not picking up my 6month old….just hope 10 days is enough!

Hi ladies. Im 15 days po. I have a 4 year old and a chunky non mobile 10 month old. I could have lifted her being careful day 2/3 but didnt have to as had help. By day 4 i was on my own and managed fine. No rough play or prolonged carrying but easily pick her up and moved her from place to place. Could still have cuddles on knee etc. I have been really lucky with recovery tho and barely had any pain so i think its hard to say until u have had it done. I was pretty much back to normal by day 8

I’m 4 weeks tomorrow, I have a 7, 4 and 21 month old. I picked my 21 month old up Saturday and my left boob is really sore today. Other than that I’ve managed ok from the 21st July. I’d agree maybe second week you’ll be ok, but don’t push yourself, your body will tell you when you have done to much. And get help when and if you can. Xx

Alex I’m sure I’ve asked before but did you have unders or overs?

hi kelly i had partials xx

Thanks everyone for replying 🙂 Scared more so for my 8momth old lifting in and out oghis cot and carrying him up 3 flights of stairs just hoping I don’t over do it first couple of days so recovery will be smoother… Hope my recovery is like yours Alex xx
