C-section sleeping position
Hey! Had a c section on Monday evening and struggling with sleeping position, the only thing comfortable for my stomach is basically being sat up to sleep all night but then that’s making my wound moist and honestly my bottom uncomfortably numb, i can’t comfortably sleep on my side because its so uncomfortable for my actual stomach (not wound) even with a pillow support , I just wondered if anyone else has been in this position and has any tips or tricks,
This is a second c-section not that I think that would matter so much but just in case

I had a section 6 weeks ago on Wednesday . I was only comfortable slightly propped up and pillows to raise my legs slightly. I found keeping my pain relief topped up helped even if you don’t think you need it . This helped me when in bed . I was more mobile and less sore after day 8 xxx
I slept on my back with pillows under my knees. Getting out of bed was a different story but at least i could get some sleep

I had a c section Tuesday morning and in your exact situation. I’ve struggled with sleep all week and getting very frustrated!
