    Hey girls hope you’re all doing well!
    Do any of you have any tips to share with sleeping upright? I’m POD5 now and struggling to sleep so bad. I’ve tried everything, I’ve got my v pillow, lots of pillows behind me, I’m even sat on one. It doesn’t matter what I do I either slide down the bed, can’t get comfy or my bum starts to ache.
    Any suggestions would be wonderful, I’m starting to dread going to bed at night 🙁
    Thanks!xx

    I had surgery yesterday so I’m probably offering advice a bit prematurely ha but I’ve found I’ve slept okay. I just woke up now to take off my pj bottoms as I’m so hot and can also tell my painkillers have worn off so I’ve taken some to help me get up later. I have 2 pillows behind me, a v pillow and a small cushion to support the back and then I’ve got a very firm and thick pillow under my knees to stop me sliding. And it has helped. Bum wise I’m not sure what to expect. My I’m normally a person who has to sleep on their side so I was dreading it, and so far it’s fine, but like I said I think I’m talking a bit too early as I’m sure this will change! Ha. Hope this helps xx

    Hey girls I’m pod4 Ive been struggling with the pain in my bum and shoulders, I had lots of pillow and a v pillow but sent my partner to get me one of them backrests from Argos because a few other girls on here had recommended them for me. they’re about £22 quid, I’ll try and attach a photo but honestly girls they are 100% worth the money!! Ive found I’m no longer sliding down, Ive been using that, then 2 little pillows on top and then my v pillow and then I’m sitting on one of my biggest plumpest pillows which has helped my bum! Xx

    The back rest was an absolute god send for me, you don’t have to keep shuffling to rearrange your pillows either

    Hey girls, thanks for replying! That back rest looks pretty good, 22 quid is nothing if it means I can finally sleep haha! I’ll see if I can get one today xxx
