@jnanzer94, good! I hope it all works out for you with going back to work. It can definitely be stressful if you don't have anything like PTO. I had 3 mos saved when I had my son and then, I left my job at the hospital to go back to nannying so I didn't have to use daycare. I got double pay basically 😋👌
I just know most jobs won't let you come back until you have a doctors approval which is dumb, but yeah my daughters well over 20 pounds and I carry her around all the time. @northwoodsmomma,
@jnanzer94, I mean yes. They tell you take it easy and not to lift more than 20 lbs or whatever, at least after a section. But I had a borderline EBD toddler that weighed at least 40 lbs... tell me not to carry him up the stairs to his room 🙄 and I never hurt or felt sore and my guts definitely didn't spill out of my incision. You know better than your doctor what your body is capable of.
@northwoodsmomma, I'm more so concerned with my doctor not allowing me to go back to work, he should tho at least on light duty. I'm just a manager at Burger King anyways 😂
I went right back to nannying at 3 weeks. I had a c-section, stopped my pain meds after a week, and was totally fine. Everyone is different though. Six days after my son was born, we made a trip to Target and I wore him up. My MIL was literally chasing me around the store bc I was moving too fast 😂
@jnanzer94 i understand i tore with my daughter, its just really hard. My mil and hubby were there to support me. I feel what your going through its tough and i know bills have to be paid. Its a catch 22
@lovefaithkindness, with my first I went back 3-4 weeks after having her, but now I'm a single mom of 2 and I live by myself so I feel like I need to hurry back to work otherwise I'm gonna get ppd over bills etc. I also didn't rip tear or need stitches or anything with that birth or this birth, the only thing I have to complain about it when I walk too much or am on my feet too much it starts getting harder to walk. @charong
