Recovery when having little children? Mummy advice needed please

Hi ladies, just after some advice/tips. My BA is in July and I am really worried about the recovery after as I have 2 little ones, my son is 4 and my daughter is 2. My husband will take 2 days off after my surgery but can’t take anymore than that 🙁 Was just wondering if any mummies with little kids on here have any advice on recovery after the surgery? Thanks 🙂

Hi Hun I am 7 days post op now. My kids are 2 and 4 and I’m not gonna lie it’s been a real struggle but luckily my husband was able to take a full week off. H has left me for brief amounts of time in that week and I’ve just had to let the kids do there own thing. If he really can’t take any more time off I would recommend getting friends and family Organized to at least pop in on you on those days and housework will have to take a back seat.
Having said all that some girls on here seem to find the whole thing a breeze and a back to normal quite quickly. Also are you having overs or unders as I think overs are a lot less painful
Good luck
Make sure u stock up on ready meals and snacks and dnt beat yourself up if the kids have to just sit infrint of the to for a few days they’ll survive xx

It all depends do you having unders or overs. I had unders 6 days ago and my husband and my mom taking care of my daughter for first 5 days actually because I was so in pain ! Can’t do anything:( so would be better if you will try to get somebody for more than 2 days … good luck 🙂

I had partial aswell and I am a mum of 15 months girl and to be honest for first 5 days I was stick to my bed and sofa 🙁 I was struggle to wipe my own bum! Seriously 🙂

Oh thanks girls for sharing your stories, I am having under the muscle so defo may need extra help, luckily I have my sisters near by so hopefully I can get them to help me abit after. Good luck with all your recoveries, it’s hard as we can’t really press an off button on being a mummy lol
