I was told no driving or heavy housework for 6 weeks. I started driving just before 3 weeks - but I lasted out the housework one as long as possible except washing - I would carry out the washing in 2 small baskets instead of one big one, but my Mum came & did all my floors for me \/
Just thought I would share this with you all, My hubby and I were being asked questions by family member about the birth and my Hubby now just tells people that his son is making his way out via A) the emergency hatch B) the alternative entrance to the world or C) Hes a new age baby and hes making his own exit.
I usually advie no driving for 2 weeks and no housework for 6 weeks.
Also most places do not put a drain in.
I leave the baby with mum as soon as she is back on the ward and I try to encourage/help her to breastfeed as soon as possable.
If mum is very sleepy I offer to look after her baby for a few hours so she can get some rest, but the decision is hers to make.
Love all the names everyone is calling it!Sunroof!!hehehe and emergency hatch, was kaking myself laughing as I never even thought of these to tell people when they asked me how the birth went!
Yeh I know what you mean Lindie.I wish I knew these before I told people that I had a c/s as it would have made them laugh instead of frown and say oh you had the easy option then!ARhhh!
Corey only managed to get one week off and even then he had to keep going into work to check on things as there is noone else to do his job.We stocked up the freezer with those micorwave meals, they were a god send!Otherwise I probably would have not have eaten at all when he wasn't there!
I definately could not watch the next one. I didn't like the fact that Dh watched the first (neither did the theatre staff, but they could not stop him).
