LEEP Recovery and lifting?

Question

I’m going in for a LEEP on Wednesday. The procedure itself isn’t my fear - my doctor has me scared to death of the recovery. She says no lifting over 15 pounds for two months, because it can cause strain and bleeding that can only be stopped by a medical professional. I have a baby and a toddler and I HAVE to lift them occasionally. 
I really can’t get around it. 
Anyone have any experience of the healing process they’d like to share?

Answer

I’ve had multiple surgeries, and even cervix removal due to cancer. There may be a weight limit, just like either any surgery activity levels must be changed, but I’ve never heard of it going on for two months. Especially for a LEEP which is cauterized and a small piece

Answer

I've had 2 leeps and never been given those instructions.  My friend just had a leep and wasn't told that either and she's works in construction.

Answer

I don’t have children, so I didn’t have anything heavy to lift repeatedly. But I did have a leep done and didn’t have any complications. The recovery was pretty simple, just rest and no sex until cleared by your doctor. Hopefully someone else has more experience with the lifting restrictions.
