How long to sleep upright??HELP!!

Hi girls,I’m only on day 5 and It’s driving me nuts!When can I lay flat again?My bum and back hurt more than my boobies! xxx

Awwwwwww bless honey,we know how you feel,have you tried an extra pillow under your bottom and one under your knees,to support your lower back,I think most of us have been given different instructions re sleeping elevated,to be honest I wish the surgeons would all agree a set time,at least then we would know,mine recommended 2 weeks,you don’t have to be bolt upright honey,just elevated.xxx big hugs.xxx

I am swimming in pillows tina lol!I literly have 8,its a bloody nightmare,I was dreading being told 2 week but thats what I thought oh well no pain no gain eh!Thanks huni xxx

It does help with the swelling honey,thats the only comfort I can give,xxxx

I slept sitting on the sofa last nite with L pillow round my neck n shoulders,using a duvet as a sheet!!padding with another blanket ontop of me lol was quite comfy. Been sittin upright in a bed today and my bum hurts badly already!! So maybe try sofa? Xxx

Ashababy thats wot ive bin doin, ive got a huge corner sofa with massive scatter cushions, so ive bin wedgin myself in the corner n stayin there pretty much 24/7! Xx

I’ve probably been really naughty as I keep waking up lying down!! Xx

Lol same kerry big corner sofa!! X

Il try that tonight I think,cant wait to get back to normal and have these bad boys on show!!! xx

thinking of test driving sleeping upright.

It’s hell on earth and by far the worst bit of the op, I had my stitches out yest (10 days) and the nurse sed I cud sleep on my back again. (hallelujah)

However, my back is in pieces and I feel going completely flat will give me mega morning boob (stiffness) so am gonna get lower each nite, and as I thought, last nite I slept better as went a bit lower, however this morning the morning boob was pretty bad, I was stiff for a good 20 mins xxx

I’m fine and I can honestly say I’ve never gone a whole night laying up right

I woke up lay flat. I’m now lying on my side and sometimes have 5 min on my front before I get uncomfortable,

I’m 5 week on Tuesday – and feel normal except I had bigger boobies!

I’ve had an amazing recovery so can’t see it doing much harm to have a cheeky sleep on your back flat

After all I’ve being doing it for 5 week now oops xx
