i cant sleep

I always sleep on my side, so having to sleep on my back was just awful and i had real bad back-ache.
I tried sleeping on my side at 3 weeks post op, but just couldn’t, as it felt really weird.
I tried again the day i was 4 weeks, and it felt fine, so i have been sleeping on my side since then. I just keep alternating sides. I’m 17 weeks now, and i love my boobs xx

something about helping the fluids to drain away i think
ad probably just so we dont hurt them if we roll over and things

Does anyone kno why we need to sleep propped up?? I can’t see how it helps the healin process??xx

hahahaha im sure someone invented inflatables which have holes in for your boobs
coz they make em for baby bumps too haha

oh well, hopefully only 5 more nights then i can try to get a decent sleep emma [=

Really don’t like the thought of sleeping on my tummy – haven’t even tried yet and i’m 4 months post op!!!
Not sure what is going to happen next summer when we all start sun-bathing, we’ll need a sunbed to 2 holes cut out for our boobies :boogie:

will we ever be able to sleep on our tummys again.someone told me the other day that its too uncomfy and i felt freaked cos i love sleeping that way,blub

Hi i was about day 12 days post op when i slept on my side just found my body started sleep on my side naturally then, i guess my body knew not to do that b4. My nurse said 10 days sleeping on ur back xx

ohhh i want to sleep sideways nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
its so awfull, only 5 days post op, I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE
xD
so uncomfortable

woo i slept on my side for the first time the night before last… o god it was heaven. That would have made me just under three weeks post op, im 3 weeks today!
It will get better!! xx

haha that feeling does get better too Becky, don’t worry – they are not going to fall off haha xx

i’m not suree
i’m gonna ask on thursday when i see the nurse

you gotta stay propped up for about 10 days but idk after that

xxxx

does anyone know when you can sleep on your side ,x

hey hun i know the feeling. I jus want to curl up in a ball on my side how i usually sleep. I had silky pyjamas on last night n kept slipping down my pillows!! oh dear cant wait to heal this is the worst part!xx

i sleptabit better last night but i wake up every few hours and ive drifted down the pillows haha i look like a stranded turtle!!! takes ages to try n shuffle back up hahahaha

last night i ditched my v pillow. i found mine abit hard. so ive had 3 pillows behind me, one to each side under my arms and one behing my head haha
that was abit more comfy!
i just want to sleep sidewayyyyyyyyyyyyyyys arrrgh hahaha

xxxxxxx

awww hun! I dont know how you are doing that i cant cop without sleep!

How was last night? I found that putting a few pillows under my v-pillow and moving them around to support my lower back was the best and putting them around me too. I never slept upright though. I always slept on a slight incline but not alot. Are you trying to sleep sat up too much?

Yeh I didn’t sleep for over week well i went off at 12.00 wokeup at 3.00am and tossed and turned in and out of sleep until 7.00am. believe you me it does improve, a very draining experience which left me weepy due to lack of sleep.

i know it’ll be worth itt its just a pain, i cant function with no sleep haha xD

thanks jacqui [=

xxxxx

Don’t worry Becky, it doesn’t last for too long hun, and it is so worth it to have lovely boobies xx

i’ll have to try and hunt one out

xxxx

try using a bean bag so your still up right but it goes to your shape,or i use a bean bag and a v pillow, may help x
