Is there a wrong or right way to sleep when youre in the first trimester?

Question

I keep sleeping on my stomach. Is that bad for the baby? I don't have a bump yet (I'm 9w6d) but I'm still concerned that perhaps organs are pushing into the uterus. I dunno...

Answer

I asked my OB at the last appointment bc I'm a back sleeper, she said it's not really a problem until about 20 weeks bc the baby isn't big enough yet. I'm still trying to practice laying on my left side, but I'm not worrying about it as much as before I asked.

Answer

It's only not safe when you feel pain or too much pressure. That's what my doctors told me I'm 11 weeks. I sleep on my belly but on the side with one leg bent. Plenty of cushion in there you won't crush them :)

Answer

Were all due date buddies! And I've been doing the same so idk :/

Answer

I'm same as you at 9 weeks 3 days and I sleep on my stomach... With my daughter I slept on my stomach til I was a bit over 5 months without any issues except having to go pee every other hour....I hope I can do that again this time around

Answer

Ive wondered the same thing. It's not recommended to sleep on the belly because the baby doesnt get enough oxygen is what I read... but I have also read that as long as its comfortable its okay. Of course I cant tell you for sure whats safe and what's not, this is my first baby. & Of course once were bigger were not gonna be able to even if we wanted but it's hard to get out of the habbit. Especially for me because its the most comfortable position for me. I told my bf that im gonna miss being able to lay on my belly once im bigger. I'm 11 weeks and 2 days and still sleep on my belly. Things are fine as far as I know. I tell myself as long as im not cramping or bleeding that my little lime is in there growing and healthy. The baby is protected in its little sac but I would definitely look into sleeping on the belly if your concerned.. Or you can ask your doctor and see what they say.. Im sure its not too much of a risk.. Sometimes when your asleep you dont even know when you turn onto your stomach  because your asleep.. Im sure many women have done it and had a healthy baby.

Answer

My Dr told me to try and sleep on my side, because when we get bigger it is dangerous to lay on your back.
