Tips for transitioning from being a lifetime tummy sleeper?

Question

I’m only 5 weeks, but I’m so particular about sleeping on my stomach with one leg straight and one leg bent up! Have been my whole life so I know transitioning will be a struggle.. Want to start trying to get used to sleeping on my side ASAP. If you ladies have any helpful suggestions, brands of pregnancy pillows, etc. that would be super helpful! ☺️💕

Answer

You can sleep however you want until you aren’t comfortable anymore. Your body will tell you when you need to switch

Answer

24 weeks and still on tummy with a knee up

Answer

I slept flat on my stomach until I was 30 weeks, and then when it got uncomfortable I transitioned to 50/50 tummy and side and that's still how I sleep at 35 weeks. Sleep however you're comfortable and can get the best rest!

Answer

You should be able to sleep on your tummy until the last trimester, when you’ll likely be uncomfortable no matter how you sleep.

Answer

I'm 30 weeks and I still sleep on my stomach. I'm not showing at all and it's not uncomfortable. But when it does start to get u comfortable I'll be side sleeping

Answer

Just sleep how you’re comfortable. I’m 24 weeks and still sleep on my belly.

Answer

You'll transition automatically when it becomes uncomfortable. But you can always try and get used to it slowly by starting with lying on the sides, maybe use a pillow to hug for some support and then just let yourself roll over when you can't stay on the side.

Answer

20weeks pregnant and still sleep on my stomach. 
I’ve tried sleeping on my side and i can only handle laying on my right side with a pillow behind my back.

Answer

I got 2 body pillows for both of my sides and learned to cuddle the pillows to where is still felt like I was laying on my stomach. They say you can still sleep on your stomach till it’s uncomfortable but I’m hardly showing and my stomach already feels like it cramps up when I sleep on my stomach.

Answer

I was a lifelong tummy sleeper too in the same way with one leg straight and one bent up. I personally still WANT to sleep on my,belly,but eventually it gets really uncomfortable making the transition pretty easy lol I slept on my stomach until about 10 weeks then it got harder so I transitioned to my back, now at 28 weeks I'm having a hard time staying on my sides. I use a well worn long fluffy pillow thats worn out in the center and it gives my knees support along with my belly BUT you'll probably still be super uncomfortable reguardless what you do once your belly comes out good lol at least I am. I was always a side sleeper on my period and being pregnant is a lot like that except for longer than a week since your not supposed to lay any other way after a certain point in the pregnancy lol. I know this wasnt much real help but just know your not alone! Haha
