Lifting?

I've done really well on not lifting anything over 15 lbs. as my surgeon suggested.  However, today my grandson was begging me to carry him (he's 28 lbs.).  He is so attached to me, and I have not carried him at all until today.  He kept loving on me and kissing me like I had been gone forever.   I'll be 4 wks. on Monday, do y'all think I might have done any damage?  I didn't feel any pulling nor pain when I lifted him, but later I did feel a little discomfort in my tummy area.  Has anyone lifted - I was told not until 6 wks, but yes, I disobeyed!  Hope I didn't mess anything up!

I am just four weeks out. I have a son that is a year and a half old, and weights about 24 lbs. My doc told me 3 weeks with the lifting, and I was close. My stomach still hurts every now and then after picking him up but it gets better every day. I don't think you did any damage just getting use to pick him up after yours muscles were strenched. Don't worry it will be ok.

Thanks Missy - I was already envisioning popped staples and gut oozing!  :) :)   Really, I thought, "I really screwed up!"  cause I did have a little pain that evening.  Good to hear it's not that big of a deal - maybe I'll just continuting picking him up - he is the joy of my life!  thanks again!
