How long after a c-section will I be able to lay properly in bed?
At the moment I’m sleeping in my sons single bed cause it’s higher up, and I’m sleeping at an incline with pillows because it hurts to lay flat. I also can’t yet sleep on my side.
This means I’m not sharing a bed with my hubby and can’t easily turn and take baby from his crib into bed to feed.
When will this stage of my recovery be over?? :(

I made a little pillow nest for at least 2 weeks and gradually got rod of a pillow every night till I was back to normal but probably a good 3-4 weeks before I could side sleep
last week
I slept sitting up with pillows for about 3/4 weeks and didnt lie on my side till about 5/6 weeks

@Aimee Everyone is different love my only advice is listen to your body, be patient and you will bounce back in no time. I’m at week 3 of my recovery and found some good days with it then some bad so hang in there your doing great ❤️👍🏼

I think after a week or so I could lay comfortably on my back and not with pillow support. I’m a side sleeper and I felt weird sleeping on my side and it took me a good few weeks to be able to do it again.
Propped up for about 2 weeks then started to turn onto my side and scoot further down, by 18 days I could twist a bit so took over night feeds from dad as he done them up until then.
