Not sure where to ask this but I’ve been enjoying my transition a lot, even with the period included (not the nicest but still affirming).
That said, I’ve noticed a mild issue: sleeping position. My boobs are now getting in the way of sleeping fully on the side.
Currently, the “solution” I’ve gotten is to basically sleep in a fetal position halfway inbetween that of “on stomach” and “on side”, with my arms in an L shape under the ergonomic head pillow. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than sleeping normally on the side, which sadly is a little difficult now.
I figured I’d ask other gals about here. Do you lot have any tips on this?
And do clothes help differently? Like I see sleeping skirts and pajamas, but I heat up easily and I’m not so quite sure if they’d help.
Yeah I’ve a C and I think it’s mainly caused by that if I were to lay wholly on my side, I feel friction on the most sensitive areas. Like someone above here said, it might pass over with time as they get less sore.
That falling asleep on my back is a nice idea, I should try that. I mostly sleep in underwear, shirt and shorts are a good alternative for me though, I suppose, for winter!
Ahh maybe that’s why, because they’re sore. It just feels like skin bags(?) for me, so hopefully that passes for you😊
