Worried how I am going to cope with a young child.

Has anyone got young children? I am having my op on the 24 Nov and have a 15 month old I am worried how I am going to cope after the op and how soon I will be able to pick my son up and have cuddles. Can anyone advise?

hi, i had my op yestoday, i have a 19month old and she is at her grandma’s untill tomorrow and i am slightly worried as i am quite sore and cant move my arms too much, i wont be able to get her in/out her cot, highchair etc, having lots of friends over in the day until partner gets back from work. but as long as you have lots of friends and family around it will be fine, make sure you at least have 3 days away i’d say. good luck xxx

Hiya iv got a 14m

Thanks Louise please keep us updated on how you are coping with your little one I do have lots of family and friends who are going to help, I am going to stay with my mum though as my husband has just been told he has to work away next week so it’s going to be quite hard as my baby is very clingy and also have to other children at primary school.

Hia, I had mine done almost 6 weeks ago, had 505 unders. My little girl was only 7 months when I had mine done and my little boy is3. It was fine, couldnt pick them up for the first week but you find ways around it. My hubby would pick the baby up and pass her to me and then i’d rest her on my lap etc. It’l be fine, and its only for the first few days… good luck xx

hi,

Hi Louisa were you able to pick them up after a week or is it a lot longer a my little boy has only just started walking?

my little girl is home today, had my ba on wed, i cant really do anything, she’s a wriggler so even changing her is abit of a problem, but feeling better every day so shouldnt be too long untill things are abit more normal xx

My little boy had just started walkin when i had mine done, but i got my friend to stay over for the 1st week post op to help with housework and child care and drivin but she stayed for another week aswell but i did most stuff myself by then.

i was really worried so much to the point i was goin to delay the op but as long as u got someone around to help u will be fine. good luck xx
