ahhhhhh I can't sleep :(

I want to sleep I my back so badly!!! How are you going to last another 12 nights?!

Someone please tell me it gets easier? The pain on my lower back is horrible from trying to sleep like this. The 6 cushions pillows I have round me as awful. They do no work an nothing works!!!! God I'm so moody!!! What harm will I do by sleeping on my back for like 2 hours? I'm so bloody tired :-(

Aww huni x the sleeping is horrible! You only have to have your head raised slightly hun, you don't need to be sat bolt upright to sleep! Hope you get some snoozle soon xx

Really I thought I had to be upright. When I woke up I pretty much was flat because my body just can't do it! Wedgies and it pulls on my bra when I'm slowly slipping down
Doesn't help that my cats in heat and running around the house howling and woke the whole family up during the night xx

Lol@ your cat!! No as long as your head is above heart level its fine hun x I made the same mistake when I had mine, luckily I also had this forum and was told I just had to have my head raised. Thank god for bjsf lol xx how are you feeling ?

I'm know! BJSF is a life saver!! Answers all my questions and everyone is so lovely.

My cat howling is very annoying. Just howls and is trying to rub its bun in everyone's face! It's very loud and woke my daughter up and she upset because she said she could hear strange noises! Xx

Awwww, I spent the first week on the couch with pillows and used the back of the couch to lean my side against. For me it was easier than fighting with pillows and trying to bum shuffle in bed. Hope it get easier soon hun. x

Thanks hun. I might try the couch. I know I will just get stressed in that room though because OH worn be keeping it as spotless as I Do. I might give it a go tonight when I'm trying to sleep xx

That's a good idea x it's worth a go! Can you put the cat out? Or in another room so she doesn't wake you and your daughter? My cat loves to sleep with my 2yr old, but she wakes him up sometimes! Cats eh....

My back is killing slept a little lower last night but I usually sleep on my front!
Is it just for 2 week? X

I had a better nights sleep last night was not so high in the bed and the sickness has gone this morning so I'm going to have a little shower as my ps said I could have quick showers from today then my husband is going to take me out for some lunch....will be good to get out the house. hope you get a better nights sleep tonight x

Lisa the cat is like howling really loud, it can be heard throughout the whole house. Normally my cat sleeps with my little girl too but because she's in heat I've been shutting her in the kitchen to try and minimise howling. Can't let her out because she will get pregnant :-( such a nightmare!!!

Sezbaby it says in my transform notes 14 nights.. I might tippex out the 1 so it's only 4 nights

Lisa I'm so glad that the sickness has passed! It's not very nice :-( I was allowed to shower yesterday nut I haven't yet. I'm too scared!! I see my clinic tomorrow so might try and have one later. Xx

I can't believe u can shower that's brill but I'm with u ruthay I'd be scared!
It's weird how u prepare urself for it but ur not really prepared at all are u!?
My righty feels tight this morning must have slept funny, think they are farting as well!
X

Yeah my surgeon says all his ladies can shower the next day because of his stitching. I'm way too scared though, I mean what if a boob falls off haha. I'm too nervous!! ! Right feels tight as well! Xx

Try just using one pillow and a v-pillow for your head tonight Ruth. A pillow then under each arm, a pillow under your knees and a rolled towel in the small of your back. A hot water bottle helps too.

I'm not sure if you're stating in bed all the time. But it's best just to go to bed when you feel tired during the day and for bedtime at night. Other than that its best to be mobile, pottering around the house, possibly getting dressed and heading out for a little walk whilst we have no rain!!! Lol. The worst thing you can do for your back is 1. Sleep sat bolt upright. As long as your head is above your chest that's all that's necessary and 2. Stay in bed. Mobility really is the key to a better recovery.

You need to sleep 'propped up' for the 2 week hun to help your body absorb all the fluid that is surrounding the implant. It helps your body to naturally absorb it.

It does get better lovely. That pillow under your knees will make such a big difference too because it helps to take that pressure away from your back. X

Oh Cookie you are such a pro I've just arranged myself the way you have suggested with the hot water bottle under my back and the pillow under the knees. I feel much more comfortable. I have been moving around but I really want some sleep. Don't feel like I've slept much since surgery! I've shut the blinds now going to try and get some shut eye. Xx

Oh and I also used your tip about the sanitary pad under the sports bra so as to stop the feeling of the stitches rubbing on the band. It's working a treat! My OH was like where the hell did you get this idea? I was like from cookie!!! Haha :) xx

I been sleeping like how cookie said and I'm pretty much sleeping ok and i feel secure and don't move about ( or get wedgies, lol!)

My cat woke me up again last night too. He gets locked downstairs and had brought in a mouse to play with :( I woke to find what was either a poo or vomit (didnt want to inspect too closely) with half a mouse in it....eeeeeew and the other half by the back door :( Darn cats they are pain!

Hope you get a good nights sleep tonight!
