4 weeks- Before Pics Added Stamford, CT

So here I am week 4 and feeling great. Boy, this recovery is something else. While , I have no preblems with how everything looks since it is healing nicely, but these muscles twinges and spasms are crazy! Yesterday was my first day alone all day with my two littles ones. I was able to take them out driving and to activities. I really did myself in, for the first time in weeks I had to take tylenol. But I did see the PS today and he gave me the go ahead to stop wearing a binder and to use spanx if I want. I went three hours without a binder and it felt so weird, especially since I don't have feeling on my stomach. I think I will be wearing a binder for a little longer, just for comfort. He did not give me permission to exercise though, he wants me to wait til week 7. He is very conservative and does not believe in pushing limits and so far I have followed his intructions to a T and I haven't had any complicaions. That being said, I swear my body is getting so jiggly and my butt which I work very hard on has shrunk and not in a good way. Starting to look all spongebob square pants!

What week did your PS give you clearance to exercise?

Feeling blue. Just thought I would update. The recovery is fine, no complications, but I know longer have consistant help. I feel normal and strong most days, but I am unable to keep up with my children. My friends have been trying to fill in the gaps, but it just looks like I am milking it, because I appear fine. I just can't lift my son or chase after him. I still get tired easily and after a long day with the kids my abs are soooooo sore. My PS ideally wants me to rest, but its getting harder. I knew recovery was long and hard, but damn...its really dragging. I know I am just complaing, but I honestly didnt think about how my kids figured into this recovery process.
