I just had a c-section on 4-7-05. I have a 1 yr old who is 28lbs. And I've been lifiting him... I read on another post that I shouldn't be lifting him. But my twins are in NICU, and I'm the only one home to take care of my 1yr old. My husband works all day. Do you think I will be doomed for pain for several years, because I lifted him, and really haven't rested since I've been home??

No... you're not doomed :), just stressed!

You DO need to rest those newly-sewn muscles though... maybe you and the 1 yr old can work on some climbing skills... if s/he can make it to the couch cushion you don't have to bend quite as far? Or if you have steps in your house?

Good luck!
