Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi Hanh - I think whoever said that meant that you wouldn't be able to go because your baby would be very young and what would you do with your baby...You couldn't take your baby to a concert - I would have thought? With the noise level? - So you would need someone to look after him/her...Physically there should be nothing to stop you! You can go out anytime you want to know - as soon as you are discharged from hospital.... And feel you want to...As for healing - yo get a 6 week check afterwards but that is to check that everything has gone back the way it should be but you can do as you wish before then...Enjoy your concert!!

There is no reason you wouldn't be able to go to a concert 2 months after you give birth, you would just need someone to watch you baby for you. For the first 2 weeks, you are not allowed to do anything besides pick up your baby....no cleaning, vacuuming, carrying laundry baskets and no driving.....no picking up anything heavier than your baby. They tell you this so you don't strain yourself and don't start to hemorrage....Too much activity will make you bleed more the first couple of weeks. To tell you the truth, I didn't feel like doing anything for a good 4 weeks after I had my son, not because I was in pain, but because I was so tired...But 2 months after you deliver, you will be fine to do whatever you want. Good luck and have fun!!

the first time I felt "normal"--had time to do something for me again, not just sleep was about 6 weeks after. I think I watched some show on the tv, and it was just ...like ah wow, this is the most normal thing I've done in awhile.

i was outside the day after i was out of the hospital and went to my moms (5 hours away) when baby was 4days old. It took me about a week to be able to sit again without being sore, and doc says about 6 weeks to heal completly internaly. ive never heard of not being aloud outside untill you are healed. If your going to breast feed it will be harder for you to leave baby, but its still possible. id enjoy your concert.

I was following the doctor down the hall the same day at the hospital ( they were taking the babys blood tests and i didnt want to let her out of my sight). after 2 mths you can definetly go to a concert!!!!

I walked from the delivery room to my "regular" room and felt great! (Then baby and I both slept all night - oops!). You'll be fine. It's AMAZING how wonderful you feel the instant that baby comes out. Even if you have a c-section you are supposed to get up and walk as soon as you can. It will probably be hard for you to leave that baby all day that early but with the right prep you'll be fine. If you b/f, pump enough to last the day and don't forget you will need to pump the whole day you are gone too - even if it's just to dump it. Otherwise you would be in alot of pain by the end of the day. Congratulations! How exciting!

My parents came to visit me when my son turned 2 weeks. My parents, hubby, son and myselft all went to the zoo. A very large one. I think they were more tired then I was walking around. It was great. Even though our 2 week old slept through the whole thing except a feeding half way through. Its actually really good for you to get out. (vaginal delivery anyhow)... its not only good for you physically, but also emotionally. Plus my baby had jaundice and the doctors said that the sun light is really good for him. Obviously not sun exposer to burn or anything.. just being out in the light. He started daycare at 6 weeks old, which is the earliest they allow here... So, 2 months after your baby is born is perfectly fine to go do whatever you want. Just make sure you have someone you really trust to watch over your baby while your at the concert and if you breast feed, pump enough. As far as feeling well after giving birth... well. 3 days later I felt great. All except the vaginal part where I had a slight tear. I wont lie.. that killed bad! Yet, 2 1/2 weeks after I gave birth is when hubby and I had sex again. They say wait 6 weeks but I felt fine and was healed. ALSO.... having a vaginal birth did not make me more lose. Sorry TMI.. but actually my female stuff went smaller in size. Its weird. Hubby even said the same thing. So, dont freak out about the vaginal part. It kills after birth, but will heal in no time!!
