Ouch

Ok so I'm an idiot... the other day my roommate and I went to Ikea and I got some new furniture. I helped carry it up the three flights of stairs to my apartment. (the doctor said it was ok to start lifting stuff but I think this was a little extreme) Now 2 days later I have so much muscle pain everywhere. My stomach is killing me... has been since yesterday. I couldn't eat much yesterday and I felt really weak by the end of the day. Maybe I'm getting the flu thats going around. I feel miserable Sorry to whine, just needed to vent, and you guys are such a great online family.... thanks for listening. Brooke

I hope you are only getting sick. You could have really hurt yourself carrying stuff up stairs. BE CAREFUL. Baby yourself and let others help you. Liz

Be careful lifting!!! You could easily gat a hernia. I still have 10 lb weight limit at least until i go for my 3 month checkup. Take care of yourself!! Blessings Tonya

Well, Miss Brooke, I think your body let you know that it wasn't happy yet! I have had 3 c-sections and I had the same reactions a couple of months out after lifting too much. After baby number 3, I actually tried to rearrange furniture in the living room--DUH! Paid for that. Moderation for a long while, I'm afraid, is the name of the game. Take it easy and if you really start to feel uncomfortable, call the doc. That is why he is there for YOU! Glad you told us, though! Feel better! Fran P.S. I sent you an email as well today!
