Bending down

What has your doc said about this? I was discharged yesterday and the nurse said no bending down of any kind for six weeks!! I have three kids.... This sounds impossible! Curious on your thoughts. Thanks!

    Listen to your body. It'll probably hurt sometimes but I was definitely bending down even a few days after my csection.

    If your bleeding increases, it means you're overdoing it. You'll know what you're ok with pretty quick.

    That does sound impossible. I agree with others, you will know when you're over doing it. For me, I would feel nauseous and dizzy when I over did it but that only lasted max 3 weeks. Bend down and be with your LOs when you can!

    Just do it slowly and carefully and stop if it hurts.

    Are the kids older? Can they help?

    Like others have said- take it easy and listen to your body. If you bend down definitely don't fold over. Do a lift with your knees stance/back straight. And hold onto something for support.
