So comfy, supportive and flattering! Love my lulus even more now!
But I really miss working out. :( I feel totally fine most of the time. It's been one week. I'm not taking pain pills except before bedtime (more for swelling and to ensure I get rest), I have little to no pain, I feel strong, I have recovered a pretty wide range of motion (and stretching feels really good!) and I really want to do some light exercises. I don't need intense cardio or weights or anything. I'll talk to Dr Cobbins today and see what she thinks... I still haven't even been carrying my kids, but I'm sure I could. I'll let you know what she says!

Yes it is! It's from the fall so it's no longer available in yellow but it's called the Free To Be Bra. It'll look fantastic on you! Here ya go: http://shop.lululemon.com/products/clothes-accessories/bras-light-support/Free-To-Be-Bra-32213?cc=12464&skuId=3528860&catId=bras-light-support :)

Looking great! Let me know what your doctor says about working out. Im dying to workout!! I'm going to start by walking a couple of miles whenever I find the time. I also haven't carried my 10 month old baby in 2 weeks :( my doctor really, REALLY stressed to me not to carry him for at least 3 weeks. I miss carrying my fat boy (26lbs!) :)

Looking great! It's hard to not hold your babies and do your normal routine... Once I was able to hold my kids again, I was so happy! And I took quite a while to back into working out, but now I'm 100% back in action and those first few weeks seem so long ago. It will come! Hang in there and get good rest!

Unscrewing the cap off my new pain pills is the worst thing ever, but otherwise I feel great! The new pain pills are Motrin 800 so I can drive and get back to some semblance of normalcy (minus the grueling workouts, which I quite miss). I haven't even had one since 6am and I feel perfectly dandy. Seriously, no pain at all. I even put on some music and did some stretches after I dropped off my daughter at school this afternoon. I called my PS office this morning while my daughter was in her gymnastics class and grilled them about how far I could push myself, because I'm feeling so good. They said I can lie down flat on my back. I don't have to wear a bra at all if I don't want to, even at night, but they recommend a sports bra if I feel like I need support and I definitely can't wear underwire yet. I've been sleeping in a tank with a built in shelf bra, which they said is fine. They said I can lift my arms above my head (stretch) if it feels ok, but don't push it if it hurts. They don't recommend doing massage, but I can touch my breasts and take showers and all that. They said err on the side of caution, but don't be afraid to move. I totally don't want to push my body too far and cause a complication or delay my recovery, but I also want to listen to my body and it feels good to move again....very slow, controlled movements, no weights, no cardio, but it feels amazing to stretch out a bit!
