Be honest, how long did you wait to pick up your other kids post c-section?

I've got a scheduled c section. My daughter is almost 3 and is so used to me picking her up, I honestly don't know how she will handle me not being able to do it for 2 weeks or so. How long did you wait to pick up your older babies/toddlers after your c-section?

I just had my second c section last Monday. I have an 18month old. I started to pick her up after 5 days but only to carry down the stairs, or up to have her nappy changed. It’s been really hard not being about to cuddle her. Xx

They’re surprisingly adaptable! I had a double mastectomy and reconstruction in June 2023 and wasn’t able to pick up my then 2&3 year olds for 6 weeks post op! They were really good with it, basically acted like my doctors bless them!🥹

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?
