Help… is this normal?

Hi!

I’ve been sleeping on my sides since 2 weeks post op I am now close to being 10 weeks post op and whenever I sleep on my side my boobs have started aching and despite still being veiny, my right boob has some marks on the side. Is this normal?

They look like stretch marks? Xx

Thank you! I was thinking that but wasn’t too sure with it only being on one boob xx

You’re not meant to sleep on your side until 6 weeks post op? Xx

Maybe sleeping on your side is causing them? I would try and sleep on your back again to avoid them getting worse. Especially if you say you’re aching too xx

Sleeping on your side isn’t a problem babe, Its just your skin stretching due to them fluffing, I’ve slept on my side to & have had no issues, I wouldn’t worry, everyone’s body’s heal and react differently, it’s definitely not because of the position you sleep in, sleeping on your side is recommended for the first week & that is due more to comfort as long as you wear your bra for 6 weeks your boobs will stay in place x

Sleeping on your back I mean for the first week x

I slept on my back for 2 weeks and after the second week I kept waking up on my side, I asked the nurse if that was okay and she told me I could sleep on my side

They’re just stretch marks hun, you can sleep on your side too as long as you’re comfortable and not fully on your front.
