To sleep or not to sleep

Hi ladies

Having Ba uplift on Tuesday one of the things I'm really worried about is sleeping. I'm a classic front sleeper. I struggle to sleep on my back always end up on my front or side. Does anyone have any advise. How can I be comfortable and sleep on my back?

Hi angie, I'm the same as u, classic front sleeper or any position but the back! Lol I'd say get the V pillow, I managed to sleep on my back without turning once for 5 weeks and very comfortable too. Just prop urself up and put a pillow under each arm to prevent turning xx

I am the same. I always go to sleep on my tummy. Like the girls mentioned, I'm hoping the V pillow will keep me propped up and on my back!! xx

I am ye same and I totally couldn't even think about sleeping on my back but once I had had it done I made myself a best of pillows at first it were so in comfy but once I'd slept on them a few nights they softened. But honestly once you have had it done you won't even think about sleeping on your front it's like your body knows that it will hurt so you just don do it. Just like sneezing I have not sneezed since my op everytime I feel it coming it just goes Becase my body knows it will hurt. Don't worry about it get yourself alode of pillows I think I have 8 pillows because I didn't bother with a v pillow but I wish I had bought one now xxx

I'm definitely investing from what you girls have said they sound like a life saver! !

Hiya. I was exactly the same always slept on my front pre op and I was really worried about it!
I got myself a v pillow and it has been a total life saver! You must get one... They are cheap in tesco! I still sleep on my back with it now, that's how comfy it is. I haven't had any urge to sleep on my front, but I am sleeping o. My side comfortably now. Xx

oh good news about side sleeping. I'm mainly a side sleeper.
on the subject of sleeping on your front, have you tried it yet? I only ask because I wonder how you stand with back massage? I have sport massages and I've thought it may be difficult post op to have them? xx

by angie8131 6th May 2013, 9:22 am

Jade u just reminded me about sneezing!! Lol. After reading on here how much it hurt to sneeze I was once soon after the op just about to sneeze and then remembered that it'll hurt just shouted to myself NO! Out of nowhere lol
Well that worked but my kids looked at me like Screwy

Vix I've tried lying down on my front for my girl to massage my back. It's ok I am a bit self conscious but it's not painful :ok:

by Lisa34 6th May 2013, 9:24 am

I have tried the front sleeping, I was almost fully on my front last night, like angie it's not painfull! Just a bit weird! I was sort of flat on one boob and had the other cushioned by my V pillow lol! X

by Daisydee 6th May 2013, 9:26 am

I have tried it last week, and its ok, I dont think I would feel comfortable for a whole night like that, but for a massage I would think u would be ok.
I saw on TOWIE once Amy was saying someone should invent massage beds with holes for boobs because so many people in essex have book jobs!.... haha clearly it would be a good idea!

I've been tryong to front sleep but I don't think it will ever be the same sad smile

you really do need to have minimal boobies for it to feel good, these big ones ust get in the way and you need you arms to raise yourself a bit so they dont get squashed. Just doesnt have the same effect. sad smile

by Vix85 6th May 2013, 11:22 am

lol massage tables with booby holes! ! Hysterical

oh no kt, hopefully you can find another comfortable position
angie, I'm glad it's not painful. from what I can see you've got nothing to be self conscious about:) xx

by angie8131 6th May 2013, 1:08 pm

Daisy I was just thinking that the other day!! Hysterical

Ktwin when I wanted to make myself feel better about my tiny boobies I'd say at least I can sleep on my front, which I loved Hysterical

Thanx Vix, with boobies now I just started having completely unreasonable fears lol like that they'd turn into a uniboob in the beginning or that they'll pop or fall off!! Hysterical

now I'm just worried I'd do damage I know I'm laying on something that wasn't there before and that makes me self conscious xx

by Vix85 6th May 2013, 1:27 pm

uni boob hilarious!!
I think your fear about lying on them is totally rational. It names sense to be conscious of it and be careful xx

by jenniferrf1 6th May 2013, 1:35 pm

Im the same, i always sleep on my side and turn all the time! Im going to get a v pillow and loads of other pillows... my boyf will have literally no space on the bed haha!
Daisy- i saw when amy from towie said about the massage beds with the holes! haha, i never sleep on my front but am thinking about in the future on sunbeds on holiday etc when im reading my book!
Ive just thought actually, do implants help you float in a swimming pool ?! :) x

by Angie.7193 6th May 2013, 2:42 pm

Lol and thanks girls have a v pillow all ready to go for tomorrow x

by Vix85 6th May 2013, 5:13 pm

by Vix85 6th May 2013, 5:15 pm

and angie, good luck for tomorrow!! xx

V-Pillows are a must for after a BA. They really are amazing to not only help you get comfortable early BA but to also help with the transition to side sleeping too.

To stop yourself rolling, a pillow under your knees and one under each arm will help stop this. Xx

Front sleepers - when I had my first BA I was able to sleep on my front no problem! The skin around my implants was looser though. No saggy lol. There was just plenty of breast tissue surrounding them. I lost a lot of breast tissue after the capsulectomy and have smaller implants and although I can sleep on my front, its no longer comfortable now my boobs are tighter. I'm a side sleeper now... You do get used to the change. Xx
