why do we needto sleep upright after BA opp?

Is it for medical or comfort reasons? My back hurts soo much, I just want to lye down flat!

Reduces the swelling babe x Ease yourself lower each night…..I did! Nurse said that was fine! x

I had my BA on Tuesday morning, so only second night and Im in agony, my chest is “burning” & got pins & needles in my back…. dont know what to do with myself

Have you got a V pillow hun??? Failing that try leaning towards one side more……as long as your boobies are slightly higher than your chest then its ok hun….I didnt sleep upright at all……i defo lowered myself more and more each night and was completely flat by day 7 x

It was my first night and i wasn’t upright totally I was about 45 degrees so just slanted I found that better than trying to stay upright and nurse said that’s fine! Just as long as your not totally flat! I padded out the middle of my Vpillow with cushions and popped one under top of my legs so it stopped me sliding down. I also took 2 codeine straight before bed so I’ve had no pain!

Hope this helps hun x
