Getting out of a waterbed pp?

Does anyone have experience with getting out of a waterbed after delivery?  I was planning on sleeping in the spare room with the baby (in a bassinet) so as not to wake MH up every night since he still has to work and I don't.  I'm having a little problem getting out of it now but will I after?  I don't know if I'll be in pain or if having to crawl out of the bed will cause me issues? 

TIA

    the first week might be hard if you deliver vaginally but if you have a CS then it might be wise to sleep in the other room.

    I'm a FTM, so I don't know what healing will be like, but if I were you I would consider having DH sleep in the room with the waterbed and I would take the other one if I were thinking about being in a separate room.

     We had a waterbed when I had DS and it was AWEFUL for me! Now I did have a c-section but there was NO way and it was hard for me to get out of it before i had him. Needless to say I slept in the living room on the couch for like 2 weeks afterwards. Thank God now we have a new bed but I'm still kind of thinking I'll have to sleep on the couch for at least a few days because our bed is a little high for me. My poor DH didn't want to leave me alone in the living room so he slept in our recliner the whole 2 weeks!
