No hun they will be fine don't worry. Just swollen over night. You can put ice packs on to reduce swelling.

Im sure this happends to everyone, I dont think its a huge issue as i believe the reason they ask you to sleep upright is to help the flow of blood and reduce the swelling.

If you feel calling the clinic would put your mind at rest certainly give them a quick call.

Hi huni, I slipped only back a few times to. Think the worst thing us getting back up from that position! Xx

by Lauren87 5th October 2011, 9:10 am

Wheres your bra from Stacey?

by staceygrundy 5th October 2011, 9:24 am

Matalan firm control sports bra huni xx £6 bargain

by Lauren87 5th October 2011, 9:30 am

Thanks I think I shall have to get one it's really flattering for a sports bra. I've got the shock absorbers high impact and they really restrict what you can wear. Xx

by staceygrundy 5th October 2011, 9:38 am

Matalan an Tesco r the best for me, finding the other too uncomfortable xx

by Lauren87 5th October 2011, 9:42 am

Hi Stacey, found the bra on matalans website. Can you help me out with what size to get I'm wearing a 36 dd or 36 e sports bra at the min depending on where there from but normally I'm a 34 back but ribcage still swollen.

Could definitely do with some more flattering sports bras as I've been told got to wear then for 3 months now :(

by staceygrundy 5th October 2011, 9:54 am

I'd say go large or x large! Literally I'm a 28/30 bk but the large on the tightest is comfortable and has enough room to b under my stitches not on them! Xx
I'm getting a medium tomorrow for when the swelling goes down xx

by manda 5th October 2011, 9:57 am

I did that a few times and ice pck helped, then I bought a V pillow and this solved it happening again, now at 8 weeks I cant let it go Ive found a way of sleeping on my tummy too using it bliss, best invention ever hehe xxx

by Lauren87 5th October 2011, 10:06 am

Thanks Stacey x

by shirtripper 5th October 2011, 10:15 am

i slept on my back from the 2nd or 3rd night without a bra too and i dont think i have suffered any lasting damage i just couldnt sleep propped up x

by kitty-kat 5th October 2011, 10:28 am

Thanks stacey i have been looking for sports bras and they are so expensive, i will defo check out matalan. Ladies how long do you have to sleep upright for? x

by alexandra33 5th October 2011, 1:21 pm

I slept almost upright for a week to 10 days, it really helped with the swelling. Then I went flat, and then about 3-4 weeks I could sleep on my side again no problems.

Another help for swelling is to get up in the morning and just gently pace back and forth throughout your flat. Getting the circulation moving (gently) will really reduce the swelling from overnight. (Along with frozen peas!!!)

This usually stops around 2-3 weeks :)

hi, i had my pre op today and asked the cosmetic nurse bout sleeping postion, she said however i like, makes no difference lying down flat, as long as ur comfy she said, but i havent had my op yet so only going by wot she told me xxx

by loopylou 5th October 2011, 8:35 pm

I think your body knows when it is ready to lay flat, Im finding it so difficut to get comfy and generally end up pretty flat by the morning, but its not sore now when I do. The other night I thought Id just sleep flat on my back, and it felt after 10 mins like my boobs were pulling.
So I guess your body just tells you what you are ready for. At the moment Im trying a propped up side tilt with about 4-5 pillows but am really looking forward to just going to bed laying flat and nodding off..... bliss!!!!!

by staceygrundy 5th October 2011, 9:29 pm

I'm trying the sofa tonight..... I have sciatica in my lower bk and hip joints so propped up is killing me! :( fingers crossed 4 me girls x
