Sleeping ARGHHH!!!!

Girls I’m now 10 day post op and I’m getting REAL frustrated 🙁 sleeping in this one position is awful. Woke up every hour this morning with severe back ache and I’m so tired and exhausted of this that I dread going to sleep every night as I know what I’m going to be faced with! Now trying to sleep upright to stop the back ache from sleeping flat! When did you girls start sleeping on your side? Nurse said i could try doing it but boobs are still a but painful as not completely healed so not an option at moment!

Hi Zoe , it does get better honestly , it’s still early days yet . My back use to kill me but even though im still sleeping on my back flat it’s not to bad now . Have you tried putting some pillows at the side of you , both sides . One of the girls on here suggested it to me and it does help honestly .
I haven’t really been told how long we have to sleep on back for either .
Hope you start getting a decent nights sleep soon
Ruth xx

Thanks Ruth! I hope I do too!

Nurse said I could try sleeping on side as soon but still bruised and achy so I wouldn’t do it yet no way! I’m sleeping flat but then I wake up with such bad back ache and then had to go get the v pillow and sleep arched upright to change that one position we can sleep in. It’s a nightmare. I would do anything for a 8 hour sleep in one go and back at work next week so it’s going to be even worse!

zoe im nearly 5 weeks po and still on my back , still waking up with back ache arrgghhhh I tried sleepin on my side last week n it felt horrible I didn’t feel ready , I have two pillows at side of me like ruth said u can sort of turn ur bum side ways a bit n your head n rest ur boob on the pillow so u don’t put preasure on it , your not completely on your side but its a change if u get me haha , I normally sleep on my front I cant imagine ever doin that again at the minute haha xx x

oh Jessica really!!! wahhhhhhh your 5 weeks and can’t sleep on side!!! That makes me sad LOL!!! I am going to try the pillow thing at side and see what happens! What happened when you tried to go fully on your side!? I cant imagine what it feels like?! Even shaving my armpit is hard as the side boob is so in the way it is annoying!!!

it just ached n felt really odd .. I just thought aswell id wait till nurse said it was ok but im such a mard arse spose everyone is diiferent do what your body allows u too .. babe I had to trust my husband to shave my armpits the first time hahaha , ive started getting morning boob again ive had it for 3 days now that rush of blood to them when u first get up from bed ..ggrrr thought that was long gone , I think its coz they’ve dropped now tho x x
