"Those things can wait" best advice ever ❤

[@BabywiseMom]

Absolutely!

[@bernettamorton3626]

You shared such valuable information. I wanted to say thank you very much. I'm in my 60's and recently had the procedure. I had incredible care before, during, and after. Your honesty and sincerity came through. You were very thorough and very helpful. You touched on topics I didn't think about, but I'm sure will be helpful and useful to someone who checks out this well done video. Blessings to you and yours.

[@BabywiseMom]

Thank you for your kind words! I am so glad it is helpful.

[@rosalia4770]

I have my mother in law coming from Texas to help me out with my kids.. I’m soo Thankful for her..

[@BabywiseMom]

That will be great!

[@lenajenkins3557]

So glad I stumbled across this video. I’m having my surgery on the 28th of this month. I’m super scared and nervous. This is hands down the best video I’ve come across. ❤

[@BabywiseMom]

I hope it goes well for you! Expect time to recover. It does get better over time!

[@lisa-marieshy9673]

Thank you for sharing your journey. I also only had a few weeks notice, I'm having a hysterectomy and 2 prolapse repairs in 4 days. I am anxious as I also suffer from chronic pain. Your video helped alot!

[@BabywiseMom]

I hope it goes well for you! You are so welcome.

[@amyh3028]

❤I’m so happy I found your video today. I had a hysterectomy 4 days ago and was feeling so emotional and not myself. Thank you for making this video!! It made me feel like I wasn’t alone.

[@BabywiseMom]

You are so welcome!

[@nathansheridan2082]

Thanks for making this. Gave me an idea of what to expect while taking care of my girlfriend who will be going through with this procedure in two weeks.

[@BabywiseMom]

You are welcome! I hope it goes well for her. Encourage her to take it easy and not jump back into life too fast.

[@scarletspaqueen]

I am 6 weeks tomorrow, I had a radical abdominal hysterectomy. Everything is gone. And was told I would be okay by 6 weeks...So very glad to have stumbled across your channel.

[@krystalharwood7842]

i started a period waaaay early. how often does this have to happen before it is removed

[@meagandownward6773]

Your video came up in my suggestions. I’m having my surgery tomorrow! Watching to get some last minute tips. Thank you!

[@BabywiseMom]

I hope it goes well for you!

[@bornagain4ever915]

This is such good advice, I had a hysterectomy a week ago and can completely relate to what you’re saying!

[@BabywiseMom]

I hope your recovery goes well!

[@carlabeckford5478]

I’m having one in the morning, and being able to rest is one of my biggest fears. I have three kids who are just tornadoes and I don’t know how to keep up with them and the house. I’m just not used to not taking care of someone.

[@BabywiseMom]

I hope you are able to rest and rely on some help for your kids. I like to avoid screen time overload, but if you have to do this primarily on your own, I would definitely allow the screen time to go up. All of you can sit and watch movies together. It will take some detox when you are done, but you NEED to rest. And get your kids to help you! Kids love to help. So have them run and do things for you and get things for you. You can also do things like have your kids put on a play for you or act out their favorite movie for you.

[@olgaangel4209]

I am at my two week post op, and I am getting mentally exhausted. I got a bladder infection due to the catheter and It’s been so hard to get it under control even with strong antibiotics. Thanks for the info.

[@BabywiseMom]

Oh I am so sorry! That sounds rough.

[@annap1191]

Thanks for the video. When did you start your pelvic physio exercises?

[@valerieplowman7534]

Around the same time I started to exercise. They are super important to help get things strong again and avoid prolapse.

[@eeojjoee3217]

Im at my 5th week post op. Thank you for this. Really helped me mentally. I thought im alone in this. May i ask di you have spotting discharges? Red to pink to brown to yellow color?

[@BabywiseMom]

You are so welcome! I don't remember exactly-but by 5th week, I definitely did not. If you are having that, I would let your doctor know.

[@donnaleehurlbutost8022]

I am 74 with a rare uterine cancer with surgery coming on Tuesday, August 16th

[@brendajones9467]

I do too. How are you doing?

[@wbasiely6738]

What type of hysterectomy did you have if you don’t mind me asking? It sounds like it was not minimally invasive like laparoscopic.

[@BabywiseMom]

It was vaginal

[@odaliabalbi5541]

Very helpful! Thanks

[@BabywiseMom]

You are welcome!

[@mell20005]

Today is my day 1 after my Total Hysterectomy

[@BabywiseMom]

I hope your recovery goes well!

[@happinessnwogwugwu7364]

Can I travel in 4 weeks time after my procedure

[@BabywiseMom]

You should be able to, but you will definitely want to talk with your doctor and also wait and see how you are feeling. I wouldn't be committed to it in case you end up not feeling well enough to go. So I would have everything able to be canceled.

[@cherrywallen1403]

Would you have a flat stomach after ?

[@BabywiseMom]

Mine didn't change at all. The same things that affected that before affect that after.

[@maureentaylor5208]

Hi my op is in July Iam a little scared but I hope I be better after it's all gone two big fibroids and all out down there scary but I just have to be brave xx

I'm having a total laproscopic hysterectomy with cystoscopy and both tubes out next month so what else would I need for hospital and recovery.

[@BabywiseMom]

Hey! I didn't have that type of surgery so I am not sure. Sorry about that! I hope it goes well for you and that you can find some info on this type of surgery.

[@margaretmurrell9071]

Had my 3 days ago trying to cope

[@BabywiseMom]

Remember it can be a rollercoaster!

[@faomr5474]

Thank you

[@alesiawilder3629]

I’m having mine done 11/14 and no 1 to help me with my kids 😩 anyone have any advice?

[@BabywiseMom]

How old are your kids?

[@scarletspaqueen]

What type of incision did you have? Hormone issues? Hard belly bulge? Did you have any other issues? I'm concerned about intimacy, I've been married for 25 years. It is not common for women to discuss this openly

[@MsLizzy2010]

Thank you for sharing! I am getting one done in June 2023 unless someone cancels. I am having a full hysterectomy or a radical one depends on how things are when they are in there.

[@BabywiseMom]

I hope it goes well for you! That is a long time to wait, but lots of time to prepare!

[@MsLizzy2010]

Im 5 days into mine? did you get yours?

@@EnochnKale 9 days. But now I might not get mine due to breathing issues :( crossing fingers I get it

[@EnochnKale]

@@MsLizzy2010 Im sorry to hear that. But if it's meant to be it will happen. I had to get cleared from my heart dr for this and that's why it took a little longer. I didn't know I had heart issues until I started the process.

[@annap1191]

Did you wear a abdominal belt whilst walking?

[@valerieplowman7534]

I did not, but that could be helpful!

[@EnochnKale]

I am 5 days in and I'm wearing the one they gave me from the hospital. I feel its helping

[@deirdrewalsh1134]

You are really depressing me. I am facing this in three days.

[@BabywiseMom]

I hope it goes well for you! Good luck!

[@lenajenkins3557]

I think this has been the best and most informative video I’ve come across. Hope your surgery went well. I feel better and more prepared after watching this!
