2 days PO – any recovery advice girls? Started by: Boobsatlast

First few days after definitely the worst and sounds like your coping better than most, i was bed ridden for 5 days in agony.. pins and needles is totally normal, just try not to over use your arms and be careful when changing gears when you do drive, i had to use my right arm as the left got so sore xx

Hi Linsey congrats on your new ladies.

I am 9 dpo (300cc hp over) . On day 2, I felt okay, I also did a few light duties, my advice would be to try and not do to much even if you do feel okay because it can catch up with you, definitely no lifting or carrying things (ie washing or filled kettle). Even on day 6 I started to feel new pain when i used my chest and stomach muscles to sit up from bed or chair etc. V pillow definitely helps so hopefully get some comfort when it arrives.
I felt bloated for about 7 days, so appetite wasnt great. At my 7 dpo appointment with Jayne (nurse at manchester) all above was discussed and Jayne assured me it was all normal. Bloating casued my anaesthetic and reduced now. Pain levels have reduced and tasks and duties are becoming easier. Hope this helps. Xxxx
