I am sleeping so much better now as I can lie on my side, weeks of lying solely on my back was taking it's toll, I was getting sharp pains down my legs and my bum and bottom of my back when I was getting up in the morning.
My wound is still partially covered and it nips, don't know if this is just because it's knitting together. My drain wound is looking a lot better, last week it was a bit gunky but it's really clean now.
I am finding I am taking my tablets every 4 hours, I figured whats the point of waiting to be sore when I can just manage it by taking them before I get too sore. The sides of my thighs are still a bit itchy but I think that is still the after effects of the epidural, I actually still have a numb patch at my knee from when I had my second daughter.
I find I still tire very easily, I seem to be able to manage about 10 minutes of activity then I need a sit down for half an hour.
The thing I miss the most just now is being able to pick up my baby, I can sit her on my knee if she's standing next to me but I can't lift her if I'm standing. It's hard seeing your baby put her arms out for a lift and not being able to do it.
