C-section + wearing baby...just curious

I am still recovering from my c-section and find that it kills my back to wear my infant. I'm just over two weeks out from the surgery. Just wondered if anyone else had experienced this and if it gets better...it would be so much more convenient if I could use the Moby or other carrier to walk around with him!

    I couldn't get my own pants on for 6 weeks post-csection!!  You are doing well if you even tried to babywear!  Give yourself a few more recovery weeks and take it easy via couch while you have an excuse. :)

    I spent my day in bed at that point.  No help here!

    I wasn't doing much at two weeks after my c-section. I don't think I started baby wearing until a month or maybe more after it. It does get better.

    I only baby wear in short 1-2 hour spurts a couple times a week. My back still hurts sometimes, too. I do take it easy the rest of the time, so that probably helps.

    I don't think I wore ds until 4 weeks or so after he was born.

    I think I started around 3 weeks - that's when I started to feel better and that I could do normal things again. Give it some time!

    DS wouldn't be worn until he was about 2 months old so I can't speak to BW but my advice for CS is to move around and take short, slow walks intermittently throughout the day. DS was in the NICU for a week following delivery and it was in a separate wing
