    hey huni this is somethin which i really worried about too! im now nearly 6wks post op and im a single mum to 3 children age 2, 6 and 12. i had unders which are more painful and take longer to recover. i had my mum with me for the first 2 days then was on my own and managed fine thanks to my wonderful 12yr old bless him :-) i couldnt lift up my 2yr old for 2wks but we still managed plenty of cuddles on my knee :-) you will be fine luv, its great that you will have your hubbie with you for the first wk, and with you having overs by wk 2 you should be able to manage just fine :-) so dont worry yourself too much about it, good luck xxx

    Hey, my daughters 5 but I am worried because I’m having my op done the weekend before school half term ends so I will have to take her to school on the mon and drive because her school is not within walking distance ( my fault should of chosen the school across the road) lol damn. Nobody else will be able to take her for me either.Fingers crossed I will be ok x

    This is something that worries me too! I have a four yr old and a 7 month old. I have my partner with me for the first week but am on my own after that. I’m really worried about lifting my baby week 2. I am having an implant and uplift and don’t want to ruin my scars!!
