Am I hurting my baby?!?

Question

Im 12 weeks exactly. I can't seem to stop sleeping on my belly to save my life. It's the only way I'm comfortable or can get even a minutes worth of sleep. If I don't then I'm up all night tossing & turning & uncomfortable & just become exhausted when I try to do that. ?

Answer

It's physically impossible it seems once you start really showing to lay on your stomach lots of kicks and you just can't get comfy cause your egg shaped then. ( I'm a tummy sleeper too) but at this point your baby is so small it's like a marble stuffed in several pillows you can't feel it but it knows your there

Answer

I slept on my belly until I just couldn't anymore. As long as it wasn't hurting me or uncomfortable, I felt my baby was ok :) when I got too big, I'd sleep kinda on my side but angled towards the bed. Hard to explain it, but I wasn't flat on my belly or on my side. Like right in between.

Answer

Sleep between laying on your side n belly...soo comfy

Answer

Your completely fine slept on my belly till I couldn't anymore. I sleep on my side but tend to still sleep on part of my tummy. I'm 32 weeks !Once you feel like it's unconvertible your baby will kick you when your doing something they don't like .

Answer

My doc says up until even 6 mo is fine. He said baby will let you know when stomach sleeping isn't ok anymore (ie it will be uncomfortable). I sometimes can only get comfy on stomach and I'm almost 14 wks. You should be ok :)

Answer

When I was pregnant with my first I thought myself to sleep only on my left side, I got pillows of all kinds for support in either side all because I read it is better for circulation and it makes it easier in the long run to give birth. Of course each woman is different and it is important to be comfortable so long as doc says it's ok I don't see why not.

Answer

I slept on my stomach until I was so round I couldn't anymore with both of my children. They would kick if I even tried to sleep on my stomach when I got bigger. I am 17 weeks now with my third and I fall asleep almost every night on my stomach. So you're fine! Do whatever is comfortable!

Answer

Ur fine! Eventually it want be comfortable to sleep on belly it will be like laying on a balloon

Answer

You won't be a tummy sleeper much longer lol! :)

Answer

Your baby has lots of padding in there and will be fine. You will as you start to show naturally find another position. I use a pillow to tick under one side of me so I'm leaning on it and not actually laying on my belly but not fully on my side.
