Can you carry a child weighing about 25 pounds after getting an IUD?

Patient's question:

I'm going to get an IUD tomorrow, and I'm worried about whether I can carry a child weighing about 25 pounds after the insertion. There are no elderly people at home now. My partner works early in the morning and late at night, so I have to take care of myself and the child. During the postpartum period for my second child, I cooked all the meals myself. Now that I'm getting an IUD, I'm troubled by the concern of carrying a child. I hope to get some clarification.

Doctor's answer:

If it's about getting an IUD, it's not a big deal. After getting the IUD, you need to take anti-inflammatory medication for a few days. If the vaginal bleeding isn't significant, there's nothing to worry about. Rest appropriately after doing work. Avoid heavy labor as much as possible. It can cause the IUD to move downward, and you need to take care of a 25-pound baby. Avoid carrying or holding the baby as much as possible. It's recommended to check the position of the IUD after a month to ensure it's in the right place. For the first month, it's strictly forbidden to have sexual intercourse. Don't disturb the baby while they're sleeping.
