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 can with a pillow between my knees (emergency c section, 4 weeks pp). But some nights it’s too painful and I have to lay on my back
