Is it safe to sleep on your stomach while pregnant??

Question

I have horrible sleeping problems and really bad hips and back which make it harder. However, I'm 8 months pregnant and just not that big. I can still comfortably lay on my stomach with one hip lifted slightly. I know left side is best but I'm in so much pain on my sides. Is this unsafe??

Answer

It's totally safe. The only sleeping position that they tell you to avoid is flat on your back. If you're comfy sleeping on your stomach, go for it.

Answer

I heard its safe :)

Answer

I voted unsure, I'm also 8 months and often wake up and I'm laying on my stomach. Normally leaning one hip on a pillow which elevates me but last night it was straight on and my stomach was a little sore today.

Answer

I slept in my stomach until my bump got bigger to where I couldn't

Answer

I sleep on my stomach still at 38 weeks granted this probably isn't possible for everyone but I have stayed pretty small through out the entire pregnancy so just do what makes you comfortable:)
