Is it really safe to sleep on your stomach as long as you want during pregnancy???

Question

I’m 24 weeks & still comfortably sleeping on my stomach I always wonder if I’m smushing my baby or if the tight space would make it easier for the cord to get tangled?

Answer

Sleep the way you’re most comfortable... your body will tell you when to change position.

Answer

My doctor told me I can do it as long as I'm comfortable, she was only concerned about me sleeping on my back.

Answer

I slept on my stomach until the night I was induced. Felt a little uncomfortable towards the end but it was the only way I could fall asleep. My body would go numb if I slept on my side or my back so stomach it was. If it’s really uncomfortable though don’t do it.

Answer

It is ok as long as you feel it is ok. I slept on my stomach right until 28 weeks with the help of pillows all around my bump to ease my fear for smashing baby. But one day I woke up when all pillows had moved and I was flat on my stomach. It wasn't painful, was so comfortable actually. But I just woke up. I think it was instinct or baby communicated. I jumped up to my knees and waited for my bump to reappear before I could turn to left n sleep again. And instinctively, haven't slept on my tummy again and I don't even miss it. So do it as long as u can, it also saved your hips longer, later it won't be possible. You will know when it is time to change.

Answer

Yep. 38+3 and still doing it, no issues.

Answer

Honestly enjoy it I’m past that point and can’t be on my back for more than 10 mins without getting dizzy lol I would kill to sleep on my stomach right about now 😂😭
