Hi all, I’m fairly new to the forum and I have my BA on Thursday 9th July. After reading a few posts i am getting a little anxious about after pain. I have a 2 year old and it’s making me nervous at the thought of being in lots of pain with him around. I’ve been told that under the muscle is more painful. Has anyone got any tips / advice for me with handling the pain? Best ways to sleep etc? Thanks xx
Hi Laura, I had 350 unders 8 days ago and I was also worried about the pain as I had heard unders were worse. Honestly, I had very little pain at all! And I stopped taking my pain killers on day 2 as they were making me sick but I didn’t actually need them. I think every body is different so it does depend. I am now just getting the odd shooting pains in my insicions and that’s it.
As for sleeping I highly recommend a v pillow! And lots of other regular pillows to sit you up xxx
Hiya,I had 325 hp overs on 9june, everybody’s different with the pain. I was in agony & had to get more pain killers off my doctor,although I’m not taking any at all now. I was limited to movement fr about 3 wks,only this wk I’vebeen able to do a bit more. I’m still off work as my job is all upper body lifting which I cannot do yet. Yea defo a v shape pillow I’d have been lost without mine & I even slept on a Sun lounger as I kept waking up flat in bed in which I was aching the next day. But as I said everyone is different,just get as much help with yr little one and u will know yrself on what u can & can’t do.x
I just had 325 unders on Sunday so on day 3 now which is 10x better than yesterday. Yesterday was the worst but not been so bad today. Just have to take it easy and dose up on cocodamol. As it’s the little things like opening doors, flushing the loo, opening the fridge that cause the most pain! Best of luck 🙂 xx
I had 325cc unders and I’m the biggest baby ever! Days 2 and three were the worst for me, now I’m 3 weeks po and everything’s healed amazingly xx

Thanks Kirsty, I think it’s fear of the unknown and trying to prepare for something that you can’t predict. xx
I had this size unders (pics on profile, I thought the pain was manageable, even stopped the pain killers after the 1st day x
