For Those Tummy Sleepers...



Recommended Posts

When did you feel comfortable sleeping on your tummy?

I was actually wondering the same thing. I am 3 days out. New life started 9/11/12. But today i was actually able to sleep on my side in a fetal position and was quite comfortable. My doctor said it would be about a month before i should put any weight on my stomach. To make sure it's healed. Good luck.

After a week I was able to nap on my tummy for a lil while. Now at almost 4 weeks I sleep on my tummy just fine.

About week & a half.... I eased into it. I would start on my side and kinda move over to my stomach but if I felt discomfort I would go back. Until I was all good.... I'm a tummy sleeper.

Wow I had my surgery on 8/20 and I still cannot. It feels weird like if I have a lump in there. Thank you for all the responses just needed an idea!
