sleeping sat up? i was never told this!!

so I have seen everyone talking about sleeping sat upright, I was never told this? in fact I wasn’t told anything about how to sleep after the op? should I be concerned as I have been sleeping with quite a few pillows as I normally do but on my side as I cant sleep on my back at all , though sleeping on my side has been really painful as everytime I move I feel pulling on my wounds…:( I am a bit pissed that I wasn’t advised that I should spend the first week upright and on my back xxx

I am 10 days post op and had my post op with nurse today. I thought I would now be able to start sleeping on side again but she told me it was still to soon and preferably should sleep upright until I see surgeon again which is end of May?

I started sleeping on my back at 10dpo and on my side at about 16 DPO. I read on a site where surgeons reply to the questions that it’s ok to start sleeping on your back after a week and side after 2 but you shouldn’t sleep on your front for a month x

I didnt sleep up right I slept the was I felt comfy and that was practically lyin flat when I had opp I asked the nurse and she said it didnt matter

oh see why was i never told this? im going for my first post op tomo so will mention it, ill be sleeping upright and on my back tonight if I can then 🙁 x

I think it has something to do with allowing the implant to settle in the pocket but don’t quote me on it lol

oh I have read so many diff things, just a bit strange that nothing was said about it to me, I will try to stay on my back but I am a terrible sleeper and getting morning boobies real bad at the mo too x

It’s wot ever way you feel comfy with but must girls just wanna sleep sat up but with that u wake up slid of your v pillow and back hurts which I found it u get a long big sausage pillow if you lie it a cross under both of knees this takes the pressure of your lower back and makes it more comfy and stops u sliding down off your v pillow x
