you will feel pain but a little bit as you will be on medication. You will also not be able to lift your child for few days, better to avoid lifting any weight for at-least one month and better to ask your doctor about this, he will guide you better.
I'm from sweden and I just had surgery (29th of April). Before I decided to do it I was looking up the Internet searching for people who would write about their experiences but I didn't really find anything interesting besides girls showing off their boobies in new bras and bikinis (6 month after surgery). So I started a blog about that and I'd be happy if someone from this forum would like to talk about different experiences. The blog is in English so no language problems there
I would definitely say you will need help with your child for a few weeks at least. There will be some pain, but it will be curbed by pain killers. Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure and there will be pain associated with recovery. It shouldn't be extreme pain, but everyone is different.
I had it done one year ago and it was the best thing that I have ever done! I didn't have pain, discomfort is an accurate description. Two hours later I was up baking cookies and making rice crispy treats. I would definitely NOT pick your child up for a few days. For one you don't want to cause yourself to have pain and two you won't want to ruin your new pretty boobs!!! Good luck! I highly recomend it to anyone thinking about it!
P.S. I know that I responding to something old, but just in case anyone else is wondering the same thing!
