Ok guys sorry for all the posts I'm just released today so tonight will be my first night sleeping in my own bed and was wondering how you all slept your first few nights? On side? Proped up?

I'm a stomach/side sleeper which wasn't possible for me for the first 2 weeks. I would set up pillows propped up and do my best on my back.....not going to lie it was brutal! Good luck

I slept in a lazy boy chair reclined for a couple of nights for comfort. Then in my bed on right side

I sleep on my tummy and side also, I bought a body pillow, it was my best friend. I slept sorta on my side with the support of the pillow in my front and behind my back. it made me comfortable for the first 2 weeks.

I slept on my right side, my left s where the most discomfort was. I must admit, rolling on to my left was painful. A pillow under the knees was helpful too.

lots and lots of pillows, like Arlene I half side slept with the help of pillows, however most mornings I woke up on my back.
