Surgery with a Toddler

[mcp_vsg 7]

Hello everyone! I'm having surgery on 11/30 & I am worried about post-op w/ my 14mo old. I know there are weight requirements when lifting things, but I cannot not pick my daughter up! She is just about 20lbs so she isn't heavy, does any one have any suggestions? Help?! Thank you!

I obviously am no doctor or professional with this, but I would definitely talk to your Dr. and ask what s/he thinks. Do you have someone that is going to be there with you to help you? Do you have anyone that can come help you with the baby? Oh, I think your going to need help! I couldn't imagine and mine are 11 and 12 now. Time to call in some reinforcements!

I do & I don't! I have to split my mother w/ my sister lol. My husband can't take much time off. I had a c-section & I was just fine after a week, in hoping that is my saving grace!

I hear ya. Use who you can when you can. I'm sure you will be fine, just make sure that mom and sis are there for ya, and know they are at your beck'n'call for a bit. you'll be good!
