    all sounds very sensible, shelly

    when i first got home from hospital, for a few weeks i was getting up at least twice a night to go to the bathroom and whenever i was laid down for the longest, getting up after that was the hardest so i agree with you there. i think as long as you're mobilising at least once an hour during the day you should be ok.

    it will get better. good luck with monitoring it, everyone's pain is slightly different so it's highly possible what you're feeling is normal. let us know what happens
