2 days post op want to sleep on side! Started by: Stella

You’ve just got to do what feels comfortable for you. I think if you get comfy on your side and fall asleep, you’d probably be in a bit of pain when you woke up! Especially after only two days. I think by maybe day 7 I could sleep on my side for a little bit, but it does hurt when you sit up again! x

I’m day 20 and still can’t sleep on my side, tho I put a pillow at my side and kind of lean slightly into it. Looking forward to being able to get back onto my side…I move from side to side for a while when I go to bed and that seems to help me settle to sleep, so the back sleeping’s tough. I found until about day 10, I preferred to be a little angled up, as my new boobies felt more uncomfortable flat. Happy healing…and sleeping 🙂

Yayy hope so Laura 🙂 Great pics by the way, you must be so chuffed, especially after having problems with the steri-strip to start with, looked painfull xx

If you get a v pillow and kind of *hug* it so that your arm is under it and the pillow is supporting your breasts, that will lessen the avhe, also get your self a Kush or roll up a pair of socks and put them between your boobs, it supports the sternum and stops the weight causing pain x
