Pinky, I had my surgery weeks ago but I am still not carrying my child at all. I think I will waite until I am 10 weeks post surgery. This is very long time but I do not want to take any risk.
Enjoy your time with your sister.

Hi all,i try not to pick him up much but cant avoid it when he wants me to pick him up.my sis and hubby carry him around and help me with everything but still there are things i have to do around the house.my son is a fussy eater and takes a long time to eat.thats my only problem.how do you manage cindy with your baby?who looks after your child?
thanks lecia,you look beautiful as always!im so much better mentally now that my sis is here.i still have to heal.it is stressful at times but i pray i get well soon.

I know what it's like having small kids in the house expecting to be picked up right after surgery. It's such a natural and expected thing. If you continue to improve, Pinky, it won't be much longer before you can grab him at will! Hope you are doing well today!

I am glad you are having a nice time with your sister Pinky, and starting to feel better all round ! :D
I thought of you yummi mummys today when my neighbours toddler wanted a cuddle, i have avoided cuddles for the last few weeks but no escape today, she is so cute , i did feel a strain on fissure area when i lifted her and i had to get in position too so that i could lift her :roll:
So mummys please be careful with your healing and lifting your babes, this will not be forever just while you heal
Love to all yummi mummys !

Are you sister well again? Are you having a good time with her, or is it difficult with your buttpain being present? Do you feel that you are slowly healing?

Hi Pinky,
Hope you are feeling better and enjoying your sister and your baby.
Is your sister better?
Enjoy your time together. Do get some rest, a baby can wear you out.
:chore:
Take care!

Corsi and Jo,my sis is fine now.she helps me a lot with my son but there's so much to do at home.hubby's busy with work and it takes so much time to feed my son.i feel i am healing slowly.ive started to have a lot itching.so hard not to scratch.i had pain today more than last week and got scared.im slowly recovering physically and mentally.its great to have my sis here even though we cant go out much.it is very tiring Jo for me.

I'm glad you're recovering Pinky, both physically and mentally - I sometimes think the mental anxiety of all this is as bad as the pain itself! Dont get too scared about the fluctuations in pain- its a normal thing to happen with this - one day will be great, the next can be awful, so unless you feel pain which is over and above the usual pain, or have other symptoms, then just relax and take it easy on your "off" days - and enjoy the good days, soon they will far outnumber your bad ones!
Its great that your sister is fine now, and is there to help you.
Have you tried calamine lotion for the itching? It was a godsend for me!
Take care!

The last few days havent been good.The soreness and pain during BM has increased than the last week.felt very sore last night and even now.BMs are soft.hubby had a look and says the wound is still leaving and cant find anything else.dont know why its sore all the time,feels uncomfortable to walk or bend.i thought i was healing slowly but now i dont know if ill ever feel better.im still not sitting directly on my bum.its all very depressing.
val,how are you now?another 3 more days for the op.hope you are mentally prepared.take care
