Anyone scared to sleep on front n side

I’m a few days away from 6 weeks post op now and I’ve been looking forward to it for ages as this is when you can start doing most things. The nurse said its fine to sleep on my side n front but I’m so scared to!! I’m not even sure why but I just feel like I can’t do it. I haven’t even tried tho it’s weird! Has anybody else felt the same? I know it’s not a problem but I still feel like they are so precious! Every time someone comes close I feel like I’m gunna get barged into or something too. I’m I just being over the top with it all :/ xx

I felt the same hun you could try putting a pillow underneath your boobs when lying on your front I did this for a bit until I felt comfortable xx

Ellie i think they can tell you timings but at the end of the day its down to your body ! I have been a side sleeper for life and im only 4 weeks post op but i been sleeping on my side but proped there by few pillows behind me so im not leaning on the pillows a little bit to ! However i get the feeling for lieing on your frount i have like day time nightmares walking along pavments and like shiver at the thought of ne tripping and falling on my front ? But u should be fine try just lowering ur self down then back up to get the feeling of it xxx

I’ve been on my side since just over 2 weeks post op even though I know I probably shouldn’t of but I started just waking up on my side.. I haven’t been lying on my front I’m also scared of that! Xxx

I’m such an over thinker! lol and worry about doing anything wrong haha I’m literally like flat as i board when i sleep and I’ve drummed it into my head so much to not roll over that I’ve never woken up on my side even though I’ve been a side sleeper all my life. gosh i wish i weren’t so para about it all and more chilled out lol right now can never imagine myself on my front again.
I’m the same when I’m out! really watching my steps! xx
