Why do we have to sleep sitting up?

Hi,

What is the reason for sleeping sitting up straight? And does it have to be completely upright?
I’ve been sleeping sitting up but not completely upright as I slide down my pillow? So I’m just kind of propped up a little bit? Is this okay? Will it affect anything
Thanks!xx

It’s just to help dwelling go down I think. Do you have a V pillow? If not just put some pillows around you to try and stop you sliding down for a few night xx

I’m having the same problem Laura, kept waking up nearly laying flat. How you been feeling? Me traynor also want under instead of over with me yesterday xx

Totally upright for first few days then I statrted gradually reclining back. Putting pillows or bean bags under your knees stops the sliding. Think the reason for it is so the implant settles in the correct place.

@peachysunshinee ah right, I don’t think I’m actually that swollen tbh, can’t tell! Yeah I have one and I’ve put more pillows behind it to keep it upright but i just slide down it half way through the night and wake up not quite flat, kind of a slant. Hopefully it won’t be a problem though! Thanks!xx

@jaymeelee yeah me too it’s a bit of a nuisance! I’ve not been bad at all actually! Can’t lean on my arms and a bit achey but not too bad! The sides hurt a bit but I’ve been keeping on top of meds and ive been up and about etc. everyone is back at work today so I’m on my own!
Did he? Same here! They seem as if they’re at the side a bit so hoping they’ll become more rounded and closer together!!
How have you been up to now?xx

@amy03 ah okay did you find it made much difference for you? And I’ll do that tonight then! Don’t want them to settle wrong!x

I found that having something under my knees took the pressure off my lower back. I didn’t invest in a v pillow didn’t see point. Excuse the creased bedding but that’s how I had my everyday cushions and it worked for me x

Pillows

Won’t let me upload photo I will add it to my album see if that works

I just used a big long sussage pillow under my legs had 8 weeks sleeping up right with my uplift n 2013 and this works a treat I had v pillow too but didn’t really use it as the one under knees was moe comfy x

I have been ok really back home now. Mine seem very pointy at the min, what you been like with the antibiotics? I had my first this morning and feel sick! Xx

@amy03 I’ll definitely be trying it then! My back is killing me! Aw I’ll have a look then if you’re uploading it! I love my v pillow though it’s so comfy, just can’t stay upright with it!x

@ayeshamush78 thanks! Definitely need something for under my knees to stop me sliding down! X

@jaymeelee so glad you just said that as mine seem pointy kind of to the side? Maybe it’s normal and they’ll get less pointy once they settle! I hope so anyway!
They’ve not been too bad, I felt sick yesterday taking them but not sure if it’s them or the cocodamol? I’m defintely bloated though so think I might take some senakot later on
Glad you’re okay!xx

I got pic if u wanna see it I got mine dunlems and know I use it to help me sleep on my sides now xx

@ayeshamush78 yeah that might help, is it in your profile? How long has it been since your BA and how does it help with sleeping on your side?xx
