I just had a c section on march 4 2005 i went into labor and when i got to the hospital they found the baby turned last minute so i had to have a c section. I also have a 15 month old who weighs 22 lbs, would it be safe to lift her still? if anyone has any answers please email me babygirl112603@yahoo.com thank you!

After you have your baby for atleast a few weeks your not suppose to lift anything heavier then the baby

I was told not to lift my 26 pound 15 month old nor my 30 pound 33 month old for AT LEAST four weeks, preferable six. I did lift my 15 month old once, and my incision site has been hurting since (c-section on 3.3.05) take care of yourself!! Try not to lift her at all!

My OB told me not to lift anything over 10 lbs. for 6 weeks.

listen to the advise given to you...try not to lift anything if possible...the scar tissue damage that u may cause yourself is far more painful than the hurt of not being able to care for your oldest child the way u want. take care of yourself...4-6 weeks is nothing compared to a few years of pain.

YOu shouldn't lift anyhting bogger then the baby for 6 wks. it is hard but you will feel better if you don't also not to strech for things up high or even vacc_m for the same amount of time.
