Moms of at least 2 who had csections

How long was it after your 2nd was born that you were able to comfortably lift your other DC (assuming it was a toddler at the time)?

With the twins, they were born at 30 weeks and spent 5 weeks in the NICU so I was able to heal and not have to do much with them. This time around the twins will be 21 months and Im just wondering how long after my section Im going to need help with lifting them before I can do it on my own.

I was told 2 weeks. It was tough, but I healed a lot faster the second time around.

I was told 2 weeks as well but my DS1 was 45lbs so I barely pick him up honestly c/s or not!

I was picking up my 2.5 year old as soon as I got home from the hospital.

Dd #1 is about 26lbs at 2.5.yrs old. I was picking her up to put her in car or in her high chair at 2 weeks. Now at 3.5 weeks post op I will lift her a little more but I don't push it. I def healed faster this time around

DS was 23 months old and i picked him up in the hospital day 2 or 3.

not for a long time though.
