Hi I had overs about 10 weeks ago, I won’t lie the first week was the hardest but it was more uncomfortable then actual pain, I had a bit of strapping and I honestly think if it wasn’t for that I’d of felt a lot better! My partner took the first 2 weeks off to help with the kids I’ve a 2 year old and a disabled 4 year old and I couldn’t of done it without him! Like Jackie said the sleeping was the hardest I used a V pillow and loads of other pillows and just wedged myself up! Also Ice packs were a god send for the swelling as day 2 and 3 I was so swollen but the ice helped loads.
Good luck though and enjoy it it goes by so fast! Xx
