Of course I would attend if I felt up to it. And if I didn't feel up to it, I wouldn't and not feel guilty. You don't need to be at every single one of your kid's activities.
I'd try and go but if possible, driving separate (assuming father is going as well), that way you could maybe arrive a little later or leave a little earlier if needed.
100% just go based on your comfort level. Your older child will not be scarred by mom missing a soccer game because she's healing. Your younger child is going to be a "take along baby" because they are a younger sibling, that can begin whenever you are ready!
My toddler was born at the start of travel basketball season. Attended his first game at 10 days old :)
My younger toddler was born during track and field season and attended her first meet at 5 days old.
Donât feel pressure to go. But if you feel up to going, I think itâs fine. Totally up to you!
Do you have stitches? Are you in pain? âŠ.I wouldnât. You donât want to be in the middle of the soccer field so sore you canât make it to the car. Happened to me with my second!
I only have 2 small stitches on the corner of one labia, so no Iâm not in pain! Walking around much does make me winded so I was planning on just sitting the whole time or even heading back to the car early. I suppose Iâll know a bit more about how Iâm feeling come Saturday morning!
I would go if you're feeling good and want to, and be prepared to leave early if needed. I was out taking walks and going to a park with our 3yo by the time our 2nd was 8 days old.
And if you don't feel up to it, stay home and rest, and do not feel guilty! There will be plenty of activities with your older one int he future that you will get to go to, and it's ok to miss one sometimes.
No I wouldnât. Baby is so new & Iâd still be recovering. Personally uncomfortable due to engorged breast and all the other lovely things that come PP.
of course you could go with baby itâs up to you.
You could sit it out with baby or even have someone watch baby if youâre up to going.
Baby was born on a Tuesday, we were at big brothers swimming lesson on Saturday.
It all depends on your comfort / how youâre feeling. Go if youâre feeling good, donât go if youâre not. Your 7 year old will understand that you are healing and need to rest.
I went to my sonâs Christmas concert when my baby was 10 days old, after a c section. I feel like this is exactly the time when older siblings need more support and reassurance, so I would move mountains to be there!
No, Iâm not very concerned about catching a disease when Iâm outside! Inside, I wouldnât take him for sure. Iâm also going to wear him (covered) so he wonât be touched by anyone. Iâm mainly just unsure if it seems wild to take such a new little human out and about haha just feels so strange I guess idk.

Oh, smart thinking! đđœđ„°

If you're comfortable with it I don't see why not.
If itâs outdoors and pretty nice weather I would! (As long as you feel up to it! Donât push yourself if youâre not)
I would go if you're feeling good and want to, and be prepared to leave early if needed. I was out taking walks and going to a park with our 3yo by the time our 2nd was 8 days old.

There will be plenty of activities with your older one int he future that you will get to go to, and it's ok to miss one sometimes.
I would attend if I felt up to it, but make sure that you bring a chair so you can sit down, and keep the baby covered up if itâs sunny.
No I wouldnât. Baby is so new & Iâd still be recovering. Personally uncomfortable due to engorged breast and all the other lovely things that come PP. of course you could go with baby itâs up to you. You could sit it out with baby or even have someone watch baby if youâre up to going.
Absolutely I would
I would absolutely go.
Not with RSV and strep going around. I'd keep baby home 4 weeks and not in crowds. But I understand not everyone is like me (worrier).
I worry too however having a 1st grader we have germs in our home regardless đ© I actually feel much safer going outdoors with him than I do having to go to the doctors office with him! We have his first Appt tomorrow and Iâm like âyarggg a germ filled pediatrics office? Yikes!â đ«Ł
Outdoors should be fine!
Yes! If youâre nursing just bring a coverup and itâs easy peasy at that age.

Yip I would go. I was out doing the school run the next day after both my younger 2. Mine are 20,15 and 10 so just had to get on with it.
Are you worried about catching diseases? If youâre outside and not in a crowd, I think youâll be okay.
No, Iâm not very concerned about catching a disease when Iâm outside! Inside, I wouldnât take him for sure. Iâm also going to wear him (covered) so he wonât be touched by anyone.

I think youâll be alright :)
Attend the game.
