Bouldering Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 I'm 3 weeks post op. My dr told me from the start that I can sleep however feels comfortable.for the first week I slept with a pillow forte. But being a tummy sleeper I didn't get a good rest.so I started sleeping half on my side in my pillow forte... Had no issues. No morning boob.Now I'm sleeping completely on my side spooning a soft pillow with a large pillow between my knees to stop me from rolling onto my tummy.last night I was feeling sick (have a throat infection) so took some cold and flu tabs before bed. I had the most amazing sleep but woke up on my tummy!!!!!im not sore at all and my boobs still look normal.my question is.... Is anyone else sleeping on their tummy and does is effect the implants? boobalicious_melb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jugs Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 If you have no pain I don't see why not. I was told I could sleep on my tummy whenever it was comfortable to do so and I didn't have any pain. I'm nearly 4 weeks post op and it's definitely not comfortable for me. Sleeping on my side is ok apart from the side boob being I my armpit haha. I'm jealous that you can sleep on your tummy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 oh gosh I'm so envious! As a tummy sleeper it was hell having to sleep on my back, and it took months before I could even sleep on my side let alone my tummy. Lucky you, enjoy the restful sleep!

MaisieF Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 I'm so lucky I've never been a tummy sleeper! But it did take me around 13 weeks to be able to sleep flat or on my side. Ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blossom Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 I'm a tummy sleeper too and haven't managed to get back to that just yet - I was really excited that I managed to snooze on the lounge on my side yesterday for half an hour with my toddler and I'm only 3 weeks today? I can't see that it would be a problem if you're feeling OK, and not much you can do if you don't even realise anyway. Congrats on the good nights sleep ?

Abevemi Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 I never had any sleep restrictions either. I was on my back 3 days post op, my side at 4 days post op, and have been lying on my tummy now for a few weeks, and am 3 months post op. Nothing in the world comes close to the goodness of tummy sleeping!! jdm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overthinkingit Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 I have started to do the half side half back thing and found it has stopped the morning boob. I think its because I am actually moving during the night rolling from one side to the other. Abevemi and jdm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
