Sleeping comfortably!

When I got home from having my c section I said “I miss the hospital bed” to my husband so many times because sitting up on my own was so painful/uncomfortable

I slept on my back with a big pillow and heating pad. I also had a step stool

I bought a pillow off Amazon to sleep more upright with more support, which helped getting up and out of bed too

Honestly, after both c sections I spent the first week sleeping on the couch because being so much closer to the ground it was 10000X easier to get in and out of than our bed. Bassinet in the living room with us and it was all good 👍

I’m one week pp from my section. It’s so painful getting off bed. They say lay on the left it’s not even easy turning not talk of laying on left. I’m on my back now calculating how to get up lol

If you're sleeping in your bed, make sure to have a small pillow to hold over you incision when you cough, sneeze or turn over.

Never just sit upright from a laying position. Turn to your side first then push yourself up from your side. This will take tension off of the lower abdomen while it's super sensitive over the next few weeks.

Mine was 14 weeks ago, my partner got triangle wedge pillows off marketplace and it was a total game changer as it mimickes the hospital bed x

Slept on the big arm chair the first few nights home and then I borrowed my grandparents bed bar that meant I could use it to pull myself up. In bed I used mt pregnancy pillow to prop me up and then pillows under my knees too. I can now sleep on my side so just have a pillow between my knees and a little pillow under my tummy to give me support. Lots of pillows so the bed is full but it does get easier!

Healing game is wild

I put a pillow under my knees when resting in bed and slept on my side after a few days as this was less stretchy than my back. Like the other commenter I used a ton of pillows and learnt to roll off the bed rather than sit up

Yes I slept in my own bed and I had like 4 pillows behind me if not more. With some basically next to me too
