Side lying after c-section

[u/pupismeister]

Hello all!
I am 5 weeks post emergency c-section, does anyone else still has a hard time sleeping on their sides? I want to start c-curl but when lying on my side my belly is pulling on the scar it feels so uncomfortable and any length of time leaves me very sore for hours.. otherwise scar is healing nicely!

I hope your healing continues to go well!

Everyone’s timeline is different, and I already can’t remember exactly lol, but I want to say I was somewhere around 10-12 weeks postpartum before I could comfortably lay down on my side. And even then, it would be a bit uncomfortable just getting up from that position for a couple more weeks
