Just over two wks post op, sleeping on my side

Am I ok sleeping on my side xx when I wake up on my side I’m aware & then roll on to my back, my boobs don’t feel strange & there’s no pain or a major heavy feeling but if I keep sleeping on my side will I bugger up my implants xxx

I got told not to sleep on my side until after my 6WPO check xxx

I think your supposed to sleep on your back as to not let gravity distort the pocket they make for the implant 🙂 after six weeks is fine when its all healed i believe x

Thanks girls xx I’d better stop then 🙁

Your meant to sleep propped up for 6 weeks x

It’s torture I know but definitely should be on your back or even a little propped up. I’ve found that the v pillow really keeps me laying on my back I sort of lay it flat on the bed so it’s hugging me and then pop one pillow on the top of it for my head. Hope that makes sense.

Thank u xx I’ll have to get a v pillow today xx I’ve been told I can now sleep flat on my back but it’s really annoying xxx

No sleeping on side till after 6 weeks Hun can stop implants from settling in right place xxx

No sleeping on side until 6 weeks. I still slept propped up because I found sleeping flat on my back encouraged me to roll over xx

Luckily it’s only been for two nights & when I wake up I go back on to my back xx thank u so much for all the responses xxxxx

At my week check I told the nurse I started sleeping on my side and she said it’s fine as long as there’s no pain. Maybe just double check with yours x

Thank u Alice I will do 🙂

I was allowed to sleep on my side after the first week! It doesn’t make a difference as long as your sports bra is supportive, I was told to sleep however your comfortable after the first week, I’m 10 weeks post op & it hasn’t affected mine Xx

My surgeon also said it’s fine to sleep on my side, again, as long as there’s no pain! He said you would have to d something pretty serious to damage the pockets and you would defintely feel it.

I tend to sleep on my side with one leg folded out to the side, and I found putting a cushion under that leg stopped me rolling too far into my side and squashing my boobs in.
