I have a 10 month old and a 2 year old who are stuck to me like glue and I'm a little worried about what it will be like caring for them right after surgery. My husband is amazing, cares for them well and is very supportive BUT I'm their Mama ????. Anyone out there been through this? Help!

I have a 14 month old, and I'm 3.5 weeks post op. I'm a SAHM, so he is a major momma's boy. I can't lift him (well I'm not supposed to), and that's really hard! The first two weeks I definitely couldn't lift him. I couldn't even change his diaper because he is so wiggly, and I couldn't do the sudden movements, and it was tough getting up from a seated position on the floor. He would reach for me a lot, and it made me sad not to lift him. I would have my hubby pick him up and put him next to me so we could snuggle

Now I can lift him a few times a day, and I'm not in pain at the end of the day, so I think I'm pretty much ok.

Thank you, makes me feel better. I know it's going to be hard though!
