Sleeping advice

Hi girls I’m 4 and a half weeks post op now and sill been sleeping on my back with my v pillow still cause I’m a little bit in love with it and my nurse said I can’t sleep on my side until I’m 6 weeks post op. This is what she said when I had my first week check up. Now, I’ve been waking up in the middle of the night on my side with no pain and then being like OMG and panicking. Surely it must be ok for me to sleep on my side by now?!?! X

hey hun!

The nurse assured me I could sleep on side at my 7 days post op check but I didn’t feel ready too by about day 10 and have been sleeping on side ever since and I am now back to sleeping properly again yay! I am not sure why nurses give such contradicting advice to be honest?!

Really? That’s fab! Cause I get no pain it’s actually comfy so I’m dying to go back to sleeping like it! Sod it think I’m just gonna do it hahahaa thanks 🙂

yes I double checked twice with her and she said it was absolutely fine! Like at day 10 it felt weird as you all you can feel is your boob on the side but am used to it now and it feels great and more impantly no more back ache waking me up in the night yay!!
