I am looking for some tips or advice to help with those first few weeks after my C-section. I believe I will have some one with me for the first two weeks. I am trying really hard to arrange that at least...
During this time, DD (LO#1) will be going to daycare. My husband works out of town which means his shifts fall that he can either drop off DD or pick her up but not both. Getting her to DC mean lifting her into the carseat and carrying her inside (its snowy). My incision re-opened last time so I am trying to avoid that if at all possible.
So, best-case scenario, do you think lifting a 27 pound toddler will be possible 3 weeks out? Anyone with a similar experience? Tips?
Re: 2+ Moms- Recovery and LO#1
You'll be fine. My older son is 28 lbs and I lifted him starting on day 4 or 5. I had to, I had no option, I just tried to limit it. My OB said just to lift the baby for the first week, and nothing heavier than the carseat the second, but I lifted my son when I needed to and it was fine. My DH stayed home for two weeks and then went to work, and we did totally fine.
And with driving to your LO to daycare, you'll be fine-- just be careful with the pain pills. You're not supposed to drive when taking pills (I stopped the pain pills around day 4).
