C section with toddler

I’m still healing from my second c section with an almost 3 year old toddler! I’m not able to pick him up but I’ve been finding ways to still give him all the hugs and play time that he’s used to from me and he’s been doing well with what I can do. I do let him know that I have a wound (owie) and that he has to be gentle with me. You got this! The healing time will go by so quick and you’ll be back to being able to do everything with him before you know it 🤍

You got this ☺️

I had a planned c-section three weeks ago and my daughter turned 2 the week before! I had these exact worries, and spent so much time feeling guilty but I can assure you she’s absolutely loving it! the recovery has been so much better than I remember it being last time, and she’s been so patient and understanding about me not being able to lift her etc. you’ve got this!! 💘

Hiya. I’m nearly 3 weeks post section with a 4 yo and teen, not gonna lie to you it’s not gonna be easy so I’d get as much help from husband/family as you can. I don’t know how I would have managed without my partner 🙈
For the first few weeks you’ll want lots of snacks on hand for little one, quiet indoor games, TV, movies & get your partner to take him out once a day for a walk. The good thing is at the age he is he certainly won’t remember the little details you will remember so try not to worry too much.
You’ll be back to normal by 6 weeks post I’m sure.. you’ve got this 🩷

I only have the one. But I promise you, you’re toddler won’t think you’re a bad mumma, they’ll see that you’re not well currently, as you’ll be in pain and that you’re also caring for a little baby they might shock you and be amazing and try help you in loads of ways. All the best x
