sleeping when post op…

i forgot to ask my nurse today. when can i sleep normal again and not proped up im a week post op today xx

I slept on my side from night 3. It’s not really a big deal. Think the first week really just to help the swelling. Just try and sleep in a comfortable position for you and your boobies

xx

I went to see nurse today (6 days post op) she said i can now lower my pillows, didnt like to mention i have been sleeping completely flat for last couple of nights!! lol i just cudnt hack it xx

Fair play claireybabes sleeping on your side mine are sooo hard still, feel like they would snap if i did that ha but god i want to! xx

im guna sleep flat tonight i cant hack it anymore im dying for a proper sleep haha xx

same sleeping up right is killing me lol, I got my op to see the nurse tomorrow can’t wait to lie on my side again haha xx

hey girls i hope you dnt mind me asking….. but i sleep on my front what are the chances of this happening again once i have had my op….

ouch!! not 1st of all im afraid x

I slept on 3 pillows for the first week, then went back down to my normal 2 pillows. Didn’t find it comfortable to sleep on my side until after 3 weeks and still can’t sleep on my front at nearly 2 years! x

Its my first night at home tonight, might prop myself up on the sofa, think it will be more comfy than in bed

good idea kezza xx

haha yeh it probs will!! and ladyc i dont think you will be sleeping on your front for a while after you op lol xx

Oh gosh I am dreding this sleeping thing post op

omg! i totally forgot abwt the sleeping issue. The only way i can get to sleep is on my front 😯

OMG i love sleeping on my front hahaha… its soooooo comfy!! ok looks like i better start getting used to sleeping on my back and side groan

I had my op 9 months ago and always slept on my front before my ba but have never been able to since, i have tried and although my boobs feel totally mine and part of me now i can never quite get them comfortable to lay on! but just got used to sleeping on my side now!

oh my god 7 days post op tomorrow and I have not slept well at all!! really bad neck and back pains even with a pillow under my bum! tonight I am lying flaT

Thank god I’m not the only one!!! I cried before I went to bed last night as I was dreading it so much. I even got my husband to drag an armchair upstairs and slept in that, it wasn’t too bad and at least my ass wasn’t totaly dead!!! I still dont think I could lie flat though as every time I move when I’ve been sleeping for a while I get these stabbing, red hot poker pains going through my nips. Oh the joy of having boobs XX

its crap! i slept flat last night and woke up this morning with acheing pains in my breats and ribs. boo looks like we all have to suffer a bit longer haha xx

It was night 3 for me last night, tried to sleep propped up in bed last night but I ended up back on the sofa at 1.30am.. it just didnt work I seem to get less of a numb bum/back on the sofa than in bed.. the tiredness got to me too last night before bed, boo hoo!!

im 3 weeks post op and sleeping flat but i wake up every morning with sore boobs. when did u girls stop wearing bra to bed or is it till 6 wks check up.

ddgirl, I was told by the nurses to wear bra day and night for 8 weeks! X
