Sleeping position

Do we have to sleep upright for a whole week after surgery it’s doing my back in now I just want to lay down

God how im right there with ya girl. Driving me crazy! Im sat in bed now just trying to work out diff positions but nothing works that doesn’t hurt! I’d do anything for just one night on my tummy again x

The things we do for boobies, I was told by the nurse to sleep upright for a week, I’m on my 3rd night and I’m already getting back and bum ache…

Get a v-pillow!! I found it really comfy and am still using mine! lol. You don’t need to sleep fully upright, just make sure your shoulders are elevated a bit. xx

I’ve got a v pillow and 3 cushions around me but it’s the bum ache. My coxis bone sticks out and it’s killing (along with back ache)! Im 6 days post op so might see if I can start edging down. lol

If it feels comfortable can we edge down or is there a reason we have to sleep upright ??? My lower back & bum r killing me x

Yeah l moved down the bed after 1 week. have my v pillow flat, Nurse said l could sleep on my side. Its comfy lying flat but stil hurts my chest no way can l lye on my side ur get a better night sleep hun if you lye flat. xx let us know how it goes Shesastar. u like me had really sore lower back and bum. x

Morning guys. So, I’ve just tried the night lying pretty much on my back low down with a v pillow and jesus, this morning my boobs KILL so much it’s taken my breath away. Think it’ll be ok after a while but what a difference the morning after if you’ve not slept upright! x

Omg girls – in so struggling to sleep upright! My lower back/bum is killing! Think I’m going to try being a bit less upright tonight – ease myself in gently! Lol! Cant wait until I can snuggle up in my side again! X

Not looking forward to this!!!!! I love sleeping on my tummy…… will i be able to do that again after im all healed?

I slept on my back from day one. Could not help it. Slept on side at 10 days. xx

im 10 days post op now n i woke up this morning flat on my back, tried turning onto my side bit im still a lil bit tender, i hated sleeping upright my ass in the morning was so numb, i couldnt sleep without my V pillow tho its been my saviour lol xx

I’ve been sleeping upright and on day 3, it seems that not only do my back, bum and boobs hurt sleeping this way but my legs and feet started aching last night!!! Arrh good job the bf is in the spare room for another week. I have around 10 pillows in the bed and these antibiotics are making me feel sick
