ajustice 484 Posted July 3, 2013 I'm a tummy sleeper and didn't sleep much at all in the hospital or when I got home. I had discomfort but used pillows to brace areas after about day 6-10 and slept so much better. Now I'm back to my whole tummy sleeping self. More comfy now that my gut isn't as big as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've had a few aches but I wiggle and shift. It gets more stiff. It's amazing tho not feeling suffocated with laying on your belly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
