OMG I woke up laying on my stomach...

Only 9 days out and apparently last night I got a little too comfy. I was sleeping fine and then I went to toss or something gave me an eye opener and when I realized that I was layin on my incisions I let out a scream so loud my hubby jumped up. All I could say was baby get my medicine! I have been of the pain meds for a few days now but the soreness of my incision under my left breast was an unbearable shock! How are you guys sleeping to avoid these type things? I am normally a side sleeper.

That is so funny when I read your post I had laugh the insicion under my left breast hurt like crazy too and got really red very iritated, when I laid on my left side i would put my hand on it kind of cuping over it and supporting it from pulling it seemed to work, also maybe laying it against a pillow will work. the good news is judging from your time your staples should come out soon, then sleeping is easy street. I am a stomach sleeper talk about rough. I was afraid to lay on my stomach till this week didn't want to mess anything up inside (crazy i know) now am sleeping like i always did. good luck stella sw 356/cw 330

Try sleeping in a recliner if you have one. It allows you to sleep on your back or side with your legs up or down and your head up or down. I'm not sure why it works but it does. And I'm not sure I could sleep on a recliner and accidently sleep on my stomach so that should eliminate that problem. The only problem is that I miss my husband like crazy and he misses me. But it is just temporary.
