Second c section

Unfortunately it's just taking it easy. Don't pick up your 15 month old at all, go for very short walks when you can. But main thing is honestly resting and giving your body time to heal. The less you do to agitate the area the faster it will heal. If you try to jump back into it all too quickly it won't heal properly and you'll extend your healing. And keep on top of your pain meds. Take them on time.

I have the opposite opinion of Jessica on pain meds, I stopped all my meds by day 4. I have a natural high pain tolerance but also I needed to know when my body was being pushed too hard and you can’t do that when those pain receptors are being tricked. Rest but be as active as you are capable of being. I was shopping/cleaning/cooking with no issues by day 5 but took breaks as needed. Everyone heals at a different pace, trust your body and don’t overdo it.

I will be in the same situation in 2 weeks , my daughter is 14months and baby will be here 29th.
I’m planning on resting and walking for first couple weeks while partners home and hoping I heal fast as it’s heartbreaking that she won’t understand why I can’t pick her up ect.
Hopefully it’s easier than we think 🤍

Key to healing is movement, don’t sit around all day. Move as little and often as you can. I was told to walk every day from discharge and recovered very fast. I was at Costco shopping day 5.

Just don’t lift your toddler. Sit on the sofa and have them come cuddle you up there.

Take your meds on time religiously so you get no pain breakthrough. Drink plenty of water too.

Congratulations btw!! X
