    Hiya,I was just wondering how long we have to sleep sitting up for, because Im day two and I’m already bored of it. Is the sleeping upright just for comfort or is it for the healing. I don’t want to hinder my recovery, but I’m finding it really difficult to stay upright, and I thin will get a much better nights sleep if I sleep laying down. Any advice? xx

    Thanks exactly what happens to me. It’s so annoying not being able to get a proper nights sleep and I’m taking it out on my poor boyfriend. x

    10 days?! Yikes, I was told 48hrs, it’s to help with the swelling. Was on my side after 5 days. No harm done though, as all OK at 6weeks! x

    i still use my v pillow from time to time and im 8 weeks but u do get used to being up right, and it can become like a cocoon to protect yourself in to prevent the bf from knocking you if his in a clingy mood lol
