sleeping

[Jordien 30]

Hi all,

Home from hospital and have that restless feeling like I don't know what's coming or going?! Did you sleep only on your back in bed? What was the easist way to sleep? Did you sleep on your side at all? A little painful, but maybe easier to sleep. Looking for some ideas for getting comfortable in bed. Thanks!

Thank you for post. I am a side sleeper also and am having difficulty sleeping any way but on my back. Less than 1 week out. I have found sleeping in a recliner helps...yet still, on my back.

Anyone else have thoughts? Will I be able to sleep on my side again soon?

I slept on my side the second night home from the hospital with a pillow under my belly. Even better if you can do it with a full body pillow.

By two days post op I could sleep on my side with a pillow under my belly.

I am a belly sleeper and 7 days out can almoat sleep on my tummy again. Feels a little weird but not painful.

I also sleep better on my back if I can prop pillows under my legs and my head up.

You'll be amazed at how much easier it gets each day out.

A month out here and I can only still sleep on my back even though I'm a side sleeper. In the begining, I used to put pillows under my knees to help alleviate any pains I would get from sleeping flat.

I am going to CLING to this statement over the next few days!! Thank yoU!! I have moments where I think it'll never be easier!

I also had my surgery on Monday and have a hard time sleeping on my back. Last night I used a full body pillow and was able to sleep half the night on my side. I also will cherish those words, "you'll be amazed at how much easier it gets each day out".

The sleeping thing got me too! The only time I needed pain medication after I got home was in the middle of the night when I woke up laying on my stomach. It really does get a little better every day. Honest!
