Bending down after a C-section?

[wishIwasonholiday10]

How long did you avoid bending down for after a C-section? I don’t mean any heavy lifting but just picking stuff up that I have dropped, taking washing out of the machine or wiping a toddlers bum after potty?

If you had toddlers already how long before you felt comfortable getting down on the floor to play with them?

I didn't bend for a while - but I could get most of the way to the floor by bending with my knees and straight back, to pick things up within a few days. But I only did it as necessary. And I think wiping a toddler's bum would be harder than merely picking things up. But that's my experience, every woman heals differently etc etc.
