lifting with a hernia?!?!?!?! OUCH

[Guest guest]

Just thought I'd try to check in alittle more often. (Very hard to do

with a 10yr old, 12 year old and home daycare!)

I needed some advise on lifting during pregnancy. I have an

umbilical hernia and if I lift anything it hurts! I watch 1 and 2 yr

olds so lifting is part of my job. I just wondered if anyone else has

this problem and ideas on how to solve it. My doctor says DON " T LIFT-

well that's easier said than done, I need to help pay the bills as

long as I can....

here's a suggestion dianne...i had it when i worked at a day care, it was

awesome...for changing diapers, have a tall step stool next to the changing

table and help the children walk up it for changing thier diapers...then you

don't have to lift for that. and try sitting when you need to " cuddle " them.

sounds painful, good luck...hope it helps!?

can you put some kind of binder on to help make you moe comfortable. I have a

hernia like that too and my ob had told me if it gave me a problem to get a

binder.
