SLEEPING ON YOUR SIDE?

Two weeks post op and today have rolled onto my side and it felt fine! No pain! Just wondered, is it ok to sleep on our side if we feel ok? Or will it mess up the shape or anything – should be stay on our backs for 6 weeks?

Ta girls xxx

This is my second night post op and I usually sleep on my front so I hope not!! Haha x

Lol I’m always on my side in a little ball, its killed me being on my back for so long! It’s been physically impossible to roll onto my side til now tho, too much boob haha and it wrecked xx

I fell asleep on my side for the first time last night, Im almost 5 weeks p.o…but the top boob starts to ache after a little while so I dont stay there for long x

claire.. i just did a post about this yesterday as i am soooo sick of being on my back too! although i dont think i can do it at all with my incisions everywhere xx

Just watch your arms girls. You can pretty much lie upside down if you want. Just try and keep your arms down rather than sprawling them out, you’ll feel a tightness in your scars if your stretching too far. Just a wee recommendation so you keep the neat scar line.

Enjoy your sleep girls

I’m literally nodding off in work because I’m hardly graying any sleep, its a nightmare! It’s worth it, but I’m bloody tired! Xx

cant wait to be able sleep on my side again – im the same curl up in a ball on my side. when can i at least sleep flat again?

i slipped down off my pillows in the night last night and woke up flat on my back this morning and i feel fine? so am i ok to sleep flat now? x x

Haha I hated sleeping upright, I was so grumpy! You have to stay upright for a week hun then you should be fine to lay flat on your back – my nurse confirmed it to me at my one week check x x

im 8 days po, yay at least i dont need to be upright now! x x

Try a v pillow with one side under your head and the other resting betwwen your boobs it helps me loads and im 3 weeks post uplift and i did the same when i had my implants last year, it helps with the aching loads. xx

dont think im ready to try on my side yet – think ill try that next week! x x

Izzy I can’t believe you’re 8 days po already, that’s gone so quickly!!

Knights I was stupid and didn’t invest in a V pillow it’s good advice for the sensible people that did though lol xx

I got mine on amazon with a cover for £6 well worth it as it helps you when your still having to sleep upright as well, my boyfriend trys to pinch it all the time though for watching tv in bed cheeky bugger! x

i know its gone by in a blur! do u get any pains at all now claire? ur pics look great – bet your made up with ur new boobs! x x

haha my boyfriend doesnt like it – he says he cant get near me cos of it! i told him its tough luck for a few weeks lol mine was only 8quid from argos x x
