I was like, trust me..that thought did not even CROSS MY MIND. regberadaisy on "This is why you need to be cleared to exercise" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-why-you-need-to-be-cleared-to-exercise#post-501728 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 13:24:50 +0000 regberadaisy 501728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yikes! Take it easy! I got the golf ball talk too. Didn't know about the vacuum either until my husband told me about it. Haha I wasn't allowed to vacuum during pregnancy. birdofafeather on "This is why you need to be cleared to exercise" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-why-you-need-to-be-cleared-to-exercise#post-501705 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 12:47:10 +0000 birdofafeather 501705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Andrea: should be today! The nurse said her bili numbers are down so now we just have to wait for the ped to come and discharge her and then my OB has to come back to discharge me. Unfortunately, my OB is at another hospital with laboring women, so my discharge may take til late afternoon.

Ha. Thanks for the reminder to take it easy. I'm so ready to get R home that I probably wouldn't listen to my body. Hope you can rest.

Instead they kept saying nothing up your vagina!!! Ok, that one I get. sorrycharlie on "This is why you need to be cleared to exercise" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-why-you-need-to-be-cleared-to-exercise#post-501527 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 10:05:22 +0000 sorrycharlie 501527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Andrea: yeah! I was confused too. Nurse said "NO AB STUFF!" ktdid23 on "This is why you need to be cleared to exercise" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-why-you-need-to-be-cleared-to-exercise#post-501520 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 10:01:04 +0000 ktdid23 501520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes, my doctor specifically told me not to vacuum for 6 weeks due to risk of rupturing my c-section incision. I'm surprised it's not in the discharge paperwork from the hospital! The pulling on the vacuum really works ab muscles, which can then rupture your incision. Crazy stuff!

I'd stopped bleeding 2 weeks pp so it scared me. Like @Weagle: said, when I called the doctor the nurse said that where the placenta was is a big scab that needs time to heal. Eck!!

Take it easy, HBers! Definitely not worth a risk. Even though you may feel fine after birth, and there are no obvious outside evidences, there's still a big gaping wound inside your body that needs to heal.

I would say I only had a ping pong ball and it was just that one. I was afraid to move for the rest of the night! Luckily it was night time and DD1 was going to bed. @Mrs. Pen: @cyndistar3: i would have never considered vacuuming to be exercise. good to know!! @MsMini: @autumnlove: yikes!! :-( autumnlove on "This is why you need to be cleared to exercise" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/this-is-why-you-need-to-be-cleared-to-exercise#post-501233 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 23:57:49 +0000 autumnlove 501233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Ahhh! I moved around too much after my C-section and one end of my incision got infected!
