Sleep! Started by: Lucy

Hey, I’ve been sleeping in bed with 4 pillows piled up behind me. It took a few nights but I have got used to it, and even prefer to almost sit up straight to sleep now! I turn my head to one side and look down, it feels a bit more snug. I used to sleep on my side so it has really been an adjustment. I was also sliding down the bed in the night, and needed my bf to hitch me back up to a sitting position for the first week. I can shuffle myself back up now (2wpo) so yes it will get better! Hang in there xx

I’m 3 days post op and have been using 2 pillows, and a V pillow behind my back, and then another pillow on top for my head. I have my mum to help me out of bed as I can’t get out myself but it’s gotten easier by day 3. I got a lot of pain relief which has made me drowsy and sleep twice as long as I normally do. It will get easier by day 4, I usually have to turn to the side and shuffle my way with my bum to get myself out of bed on my own
