Hi Emma, I had overs so can only comment on how I managed with this type of placement. I totally rested for the first week and let my hubby do everything ( he took 2 weeks off work but painwise I was fine after 3/4 days, just very tender). I have 2 young children to look after, one a baby so I couldn’t do much really looking after them wise. Just take it easy and don’t do too much,too soon and accept all the help you can, remember no lifting or stretching. I’m 4 and a half weeks post op now and in no pain or discomfort at all. As each week passes you’ll notice a huge difference to the week before x
