I am 13 days PO and was wondering when I would be able to lift or hoover/clean? Although my husband has been amazing he is not the best at cleaning the house and its driving me mad. Also when I will be able to pick my 15 month old up again?
thanks xxx
Wen you feel comfortable in doing so, I started doing things again 4 days po lol I didn’t really have much choice cause my bf had to go back to work wen I was 3 days po and my 3yr old and 11 month old basically trashed house lol xx
I know that feeling I have a 15 month and 4yr old. Are you lifting your little one yet then?
Yea for 1st 5 days I was getting up at 5am wen my.bf was going to work so He could fetch them.downstairs but I was so tired I just said il manage so from day 6 I’ve carried him downstairs on my own he’s a fatty aswell lol I just didn’t lift him too high up cause that hurt. But now 19days po and can lift him properly with no pain at all xx
You must have been knackered hun! I think I will start trying to do things now. I have hated not being able to do stuff xx
Horrible isn’t it, its abit tight n stuff at 1st under your arms but it soon goes once your use to it xx
That’s such a relief to hear how well you coped with your children beckie90! I’ve only got a 7month old but everyday I’ve been worrying how the hell I’m going to cope next week when I have my BA, although my bf is taking some time off work. I really thought it would be like 6 weeks before I could hold him again so that’s very reassuring!
xx
glad to help katie. You will ne fine. I’m totally back to normal now n can do.everything at 19 days po obviously recovery rate is dif for every woman but just take it how it comes hun xx
That’s amazing recovery time hun, especially for under! it took me about 3 mnths to recover with my unders lol I’m getting overs this time so hopefully not as bad!xx
Beckie90 is superwoman – I had mine on same day as beckie and I’m only just able to carry my 2 year old properly now. I found it quite hard to start with but I’m able to do most things now at 19 days PO xx
Well just done the hoovering for first time and to the delight of my daughter picked her up. Yay!!
I started a few days after as well but took it slowly. I found it was just a csae of being really slow and careful but that I could do most things. Any sudden movements were painful though but just take it slow and you should be ok.
Did you girls have an uplift or just a BA?, I’m worried how I will cope with my kids when I have mine done in a few weeks.
im thinking the same, im having uplift and ba and not sure if recovery is longer with uplift aswel? i think the thing thats bothering me most is washing and doing my hair haha x
I think an uplift is longer recovery time unfortunately
i was lifting my kids (23 month and 10 month) within the week as i just had too – kids dont understand that mummy is sore! ha but there were days it hurt.. you’ve just gotta listen to your body really.. if it hurts slow down. you pay alot of money for your boobs so gotta take care of them x
