Lifting restrictions...

Meredith
Have any of you ever heard you shouldn't lift more than 10 lbs for six weeks following a vagional birth? I thought this was only for c-section deliveries.

Yes that's normal. It helps prevent hemorrhage and uterine prolapse.

Yeah i read a pamphlet my doctors office gave me that said that too.. Also not to drive 2 weeks post delivery. Idk i didnt see these restrictions when i gave birth to my first 7 years ago. But hey i dont mind a reason to take it easy after. 😊😉

I haven't heard of that and I have had three vaginals so far with toddlers I always had to carry right when I got back home
