16 days post hysterectomy - sleeping on my side

I am 16 days from my surgery. I can't sleep all night on my back. I am worried that I may be hurting myself by sleeping on my side. I have looked on this site but can't see any forums or blogs about sleep positions. Can you direct me to those conversations?
Thanks

I have been sleeping on my side since a few days after surgery. I just support my belly with a small pillow. Give it a try!

On the search type in sleeping on side. It pulls up a lot of conversations.

I have been sleeping on my side since a few days out too, no problems. ☺

I have been sleeping on my side since the second night of surgery

Slept on my side first night in the hospital. Just put a pillow under my tummy for support.

I was sleeping on half on my side right after the surgery and then about a week later I was finally able to sleep on my left side. For some reason I can't sleep on my right side anymore.

I sleep on my side and have almost since I returned from the hospital. I bind my tummy with ace bandage and a cloth soft diaper against my skin. I learned about using a binder from this site. The binder I bought from this site was a little to stiff.

Use lots of pillows on both sides and place a pillow between your knees if you can. Also if you can use the belly binder the hospital may have provided. These were all successful for me to finally sleep on my side while recovering.

I slept on my side by end of first week! Dr said as long aa it wasnt causing pain go for it!! I was sort of propped in a sitting position, then turned sideways hugging a pillow. Husband teased i had more pillows than me in bed!
