My son will be 18mths when this baby is born. I'm hoping that's old enough for me to sit down and cuddle him andnfor him to be a little bit independent so I don't have to pick him up. But like the lady above said, I recovered relatively well the first time and it was only about 2wks of no bending/picking up.
I had my first two girls 16 months apart both c section. I didnt really think it was that bad. Seemed like I healed faster the second time. Of course for like 2 weeks u cant bend down to pick up your other baby but it wont be long! Good luck mama!
