When do I stop feeling soared?

I had overs 10 days ago but my breasts are still feeling soared to the touch. I can already move my arms very well but every time my 20 month old daughter comes to play with me or wants me to give her a cuddle it’s still quite painful. I miss giving her big hugs and holding her so much 😥

I’m also concerned because my husband goes away for a week in business this weekend and I’m just going to have my mum to help me. The problem is that when my daughter is feeling tired or doing a tantrum she only wants to be with me and I still can’t hold her because its painful and I can damage the amazing work dr C has done. 🙄

Wish me good luck xxx

Orrrr good luck I know how u feel I have a litle girl too and it has been difficult but 10 days is very early you dont want to over do it, id try putting a pillow on your chest when she wants to be on your knee so there is something taking her impact rather than your boobies!! Thats what I have been doing and its worked just fine hope it helps x x x x x

I’ve also been using a pillow but now sometimes she takes it away. I guess she doesn’t like a cuddle with a pillow in the middle. My other concern is that this last couple of weeks I’ve been keeping a little bit more apart so she wouldn’t hurt me without meaning and her dad is the one who’s been taking more care of her. Now she’s more attached to him and he’s been able to calm her down better than me. I just hope that I can deal with her tantrums with out her hurting me when he leaves…

I’d say the soreness last’s for about four weeks hun, they are still aching and tender if you do too for for around three but they feel sore on top, like the skin feels grazed and my nipples felt like fire for up to around four weeks. It gets a bit better every day, you just have to remember to not do too much because that only sets you back a few days. Just get as much rest as possible the first few weeks and then you should be good to go xx

I’m 3 weeks today and still sore. What really gets me thou is the fact that my nipples don’t work at all at the moment and if being touched it totally puts me off. Hope it will go back to normal as it got me a bit upset the other day ((

mine are really sore too, [week 2]- feels like sunburn – !

talked to aoifex and she said it’s normal should go by week 3.x

Yeah my nipples were the worst bit about my BA, they were so sore up until about four weeks but they’re absolutely fine now. Only think now is i can’t feel the whole underneath of my boobs, they’re completely numb just thankful i can feel the top and my nipples are back to normal xx

Hi, I am the same my daughter is just 2, she has beenn naughty this week (I am 11days po) I think its vying for my attention I am just giving her cuddles and telling her what a big girl she is getting in bed without me picking her up etc… failing that sweet bribes work its only for a few more weeks till your healed, then back to strict mum mode! I have also told her I have sore boobies she understands and trys to get me drinks and just hugs my arm. my mum expained when I was recovering in the first week I was tired, so now if anyone says they are tired she says ‘oooo sore boobies!’ 😆 happy healing x x x

Hi Tania… the soreness is awful isnt it….. almost stinging like feeling.. from what I can remember it was around the 4 week mark that mine started to ease off xx

A question for mums, when did you start holding your child standing up? The nurse told me to wait until after 2 weeks but because I’m going to be on my own with my daughter am not sure if I’ll be able to wait until then…

Hey Tania… I had to do odd v quick pick ups with my youngest say after 10 days cause my hubby had to go back to work…I waited the full 2 weeks before I would stand with her but even then I was a bit nervous.. just be careful..so hard isnt it x

Yeah Riggers… and today I already had a glince of what expects me. Today my husband arrive later so I had to take care of her until she went to bed. After spending all day at nursery she was very tired so kept raising her little arms asking me to hold her 😥 I had to knee down and give her a cuddle but I could sense that she wanted more. My mum is helping me in putting her in and out of bed but now she only wants to play physically with us and doesn’t pay much attention to her toys and I feel tired very quickly. 🙄 x
