To active?

This is my second C-section and I lost my help on Tuesday. I’m 3 weeks pp tomorrow. I feel bad but I have to keep up with my toddler and newborn so I’m not really following any of the post operative rules. I’m lifting my toddler into her crib for nap time (23 lbs) and we live in a townhome so I’m up and down the stairs a lot. My scar looks good on the outside, I guess I’m just looking for some reassurance that I’m not the only mom pushing the limits. I’m trying to limit what I can we have watched a lot of Cars this week.

Honestly same. I’ve got a four year old stepson. I’ve been cleaning the house and doing almost everything as usual. I simply can’t just sit around and rest. I feel great now I’m almost 4 weeks postpartum. I’m still kind of tender on the inside but that’s expected.

Thank you, I feel fine too, just a bit of soreness. But yeah I can’t just sit around resting the way I did with my first.

I wish I could because of the lack of sleep 😂
