Stomach sleepers

[flyme_places 99]

I am a stomach sleeper. For those of you out there that are also how long after surgery till I can sleep on my stomach again??? I had a c section with my son and had to sleep on the couch for two weeks it was painful to get in my then pillowtop bed. I now have a tempurpedic. Just a random question.

I was sleeping on my stomach at three weeks post-op.

Great question! I'm a stomach sleeper too (and I get no end of grief for it from all medical professionals, haha)!

I had an ovary and ovarian cyst removed in March and it was about 3 weeks or so before it was even remotely comfortable for me to stomach sleep again. I feel like this will be similar.

I slept with a king size pillow on each side from 2nd night, throwing leg over whichever side I was on, by 4th night I was on my stomach ( with no pain meds).

I woke up on my stomach while I was in the hotel in Mexico following my surgery. Stomach was more comfortable than sleeping on one of my sides... can't remember which, but I could sleep on one side comfortably but the other side was NOT NICE AT ALL... Stomach didn't seem to be much of an issue though.. I mean I didn't PLAN to sleep on my stomach it just sort of happened.

My doc ok'd it 1 week post op. I didn't try until 2 weeks post op. I'm more of a side/tummy sleeper and used a pillow to prop- up my belly to avoid that pulling feeling. I couldn't sleep the whole night on my side/tummy, but it was nice to lay there for a bit.

Second night, but it was a bit uncomfortable...got better each night....after a week, it was no problem.
