Sleeping on the tummy

[Em_JW 36]

I'm 8 days post op and I have always slept on my belly up until my surgery. For the past week I have had to sleep on my back. Lying on my tummy doesn't hurt too bad at all now, is it okay to sleep on your tummy this soon? Would appreciate any feedback!

As long as you are comfy it shouldn't bother your incisions to sleep on your stomach. I'm a stomach/side sleeper and never really stopped.

I slept on my stomach on the 4th night. It was heaven. Helped with the pain and pressure. I highly suggest it.
