Sleeping upright for how long?

Hi Ladies! Can anyone tell me how long to you have to sleep in upright position after BA? I’m getting really bad back pains and I’m only day 4 after op 🙁 thanks x

Yeah I have been wondering this too, and what is the necessity of being upright?I dont feel like this was ever really explained? x

I read it firstly reduces swelling, but if you don’t it can affect the implant pocket and how the implant settles x

I had my 7day check up today an nurse said I was fine to stop sleeping upright!so happy I can finally get a good nights sleep 🙂 xx

Upright it is then!! I do keep finding myself sliding down! x

:(( I think this is the worst thing about having the BA, wish I had the hospital bet at home 🙂

It’s took me 7weeks to able to sleep on side without any pain but I have to hug on to a big long pillow so my twins have something to rest on so it all depends your self and if its comfy or not xx

Im 8 days post op and seen nurse yesterday shes told me at least a few more nights upright as I stilll have quite a bit of swelling 🙁 my back is killing me I have a pile of pillows everywhere incase I want to lie down somewhere lol x

I’m just over6 weeks just can’t get comfy on my side either drives me crazy . I’m so used to sleeping upright to. I love the look of wired bras but still wear support bras everyday . Crazy I no . I still have shallow baths too I should just brave up I’m sure I can put soap on them now . But they don’t need it . I love pampering my babies, with this extra care .lol. Spoilt little brats . Haha x

Em get a long sausage pillow and cuddle it on your side so the twins have something to rest on works a treat for me and tequila get two pillows and put them under your knees stops you from sliding down when your sleeping x

I just feel like I’m squashing them . X

Have you got a good sports bra where they don’t move on side ? When your cuddling your long pillow put one leg over it like you would cuddling your man x

Thanks Ayesha ! Good tips! X
