Is there a week limit to sleeping on your belly?

Question

Im13 weeks and the only way I can comfortably sleep is on my belly. I'm pretty slim and I've always slept that way. I've heard  you can sleep on your belly till it becomes uncomfortable, and I've also heard you should stop in the second trimester. Since I'm coming right up on that second trimester I'm looking for some insight. I've attached a picture so you can see my size.

Answer

I'm a tummy sleeper too! So I always slept on my stomach til it was uncomfortable. So when that happened I bought a body pillow and slept on my side with it between my legs but under my belly so I could feel like I was on my stomach.... If that makes any sense at all.

Answer

Your body will let you know when to stop it will start to hurt when you lay on it

Answer

Im glad you asked, I've been worried about sleeping on my stomach too. It's the only way I can fall asleep sometimes. I noticed last night it hurt (13w3d) so I'll probably stop and try to get comfortable another way.

Answer

I never heard anything about laying on your stomach. I've hear you shouldn't lay on your back. Whatever your comfortable with.

Answer

I checked with my midwife and like you have all said its ok to sleep on your tummy until you can't tolerate it any more, baby is well protected in there. I find I can get to sleep on my tum but struggle to turn over now.

Answer

I slept on my stomach my entire first pregnancy and that's the only way I've been able to sleep this time around too

Answer

Nope. Your body will let you know when you shouldn't any more.

Answer

With my first pregnancy I slept w/e way I wanted until I was uncomfortable or my son got mad and threw a fit around 20 weeks. This time around, I'm 11 weeks and I'm super uncomfortable on my back or stomach. Baby will let you know what's ok and what's not lol

Answer

I slept on my stomach i feel like my whole pregnancy last time. But it was probably to about 7 months. Just because i was getting to big to sleep on my tummy.
