I’ve wondered this too hun. I’m into day 6 and wasn’t sure how long you had too….. I’m not uncomfortable though so I don’t mind xxx
I’m a week today hun, no me neither just wondered how long we are meant to does it affect the healing or swelling? How have you found your recovery? Xxx

It gets easier hun the 1st 3 days were the most uncomftable, Id say my bottom n back were more painful than my boobs have ever been I can’t wait to lay on side again!! Haha it gets easier xx
My boobs arnt hurting lol its top of my back lol gpd help me !!!!!
Sophie you could have trapped wind that’s whst I had till day 3-4 and it was agony in top of my back. Try putting a pillow or 2 under your knees it takes pressure off your back.
I have only just at 3 weeks post op started sleeping in my side for a few hours at a time.
It does get easier x
Hey huni 1st round 2013 with uplift / implants was killer I had to sleep upright for 8 weeks so for me Amy is right I used a long big sausage pillow for under legs you should be more comfy and it will help u to stop slipping down too so my 3 rd time round 8 weeks ago I was on my side in week one with my long pillow comes n handy but for you girls u will know when your ready to sleep on your sides xx
If you not to sure we mean free to look at my pic I have one up xx
Thanks girls don’t think its trapped wind. Just so tight an right feels so tight how am i gna cope xxx
I’m 16days post op I rang up nurse and asked about it she sad try your hardest to sleep as long as u can on ur back I’m ok now got kind of use to it
Same kelly had it pretty easy tbh 🙂 I had mine of yesterday feel like I can breath again! Xxx
I had to sleep upright for nearly 2 weeks the nurse advised me but i was slow healing and 1 of my boobs had flared up.. sleeping upright just helps the swelling id say sleep on a angle for at least a week then ask the nurse if its ok to lay flatter x
Sleeping up right is just to help the swelling. I did it for around 3 and half weeks. Now nearly 6 weeks and as my surgeon said I’m healed I can sleep on my side and wear normal bra’s. . Still wearing sports bras yet they are comfy under winter clothes xx Also been sleeping mix of on my back n my side last 2 weeks x
Oh JANET I’m the same im able to come out of my sports bras but I’m still in them x
