Can I do it

Would I be able to take care of 2 under 2 as a dingle mum. My second child is due through C section. Do you guys think I’ll be able to handle it with little support but most of my family live over an hour drive.

It’s gonna be hard but it is completely possible

It’s possible but it will be tough. I’ve had my baby 3 weeks ago and have an 18 month old & I could not have done it without my husband if I’m honest.

You can do it. My first was 15 months when I had a c section and I was lifting her etc the same day I was home. I was super careful, went really slow lifting her and putting her back down, carried her as far round my side as I could so she wasn’t putting any weight on my wound. After about a week I was feeling pretty much back to normal. Just go steady, look after you and the babies and leave everything else till you’re feeling better xx

I’ve got 2 under 2 and we have really struggled but I think we’re starting to manage better now bit by bit. It is really hard but as they get older it gets easier.

I'm a single mom of 4, 2 being under 2. My big kids who are 7 and 9 are definitely helpful but it gets hard. My 9 year old has behavioral issues since her dad died, my 7 year old has health issues with her kidneys. Then I have a 1 month old and a terdlersaurous who is 20 months old. They help out alot with my toddler which I appreciate. I also work full time (on maternity leave right now) so things get hard. I miss alot of work for appointments, school stuff, daycare being closed, or sick kids. It's definitely stressful but not impossible
