My Favourite Position

[Fluffy Bunny]

Ok, so theres no bump or anything yet (just a bit of bloating towards the end of the day ) but I'm starting to feel uncomfortable sleeping on my belly - it just kinda hurts and feels like I'm squishing stuff.
I'm sad cause I ALWAYS sleep on my belly and get dead ratty having to sleep on my side, its just not comfy

Anyone else not able to sleep on their belly already?

....and to all you dirty minded first triers who thought the title was aimed at something else ....

Sorry but i must have a dirty mind.. was not what i was expecting.

Yep I'm another front sleeper who's finding it uncomfortable already! And I know this is the most comfortable it'll be for the next few months as well I'm afraid!

But the first sleep on your belly after LO is born is the most satisfying feeling ever!

Experiment with cushions to get comfy - I found that a pillow between the legs can really help sleeping on your side, especially as the bump grows. By 3rd tri we'll be kicking our OHs out of bed just to make room for all the pillows to prop us up!

You've obviously forgotten the joys of nausea already, theres none of those shenanigans going on here

YES! Can't wait

If it's not uncomfortable for you yet then I'd recommend making the most of it! Your baby won't suffer by you sleeping on your front at this stage and your body will naturally keep off it when the bump gets bigger x

I invested in one of those v shaped pillows and it was a god send last pregnancy,i will def b using it again this time!

I'm dreading the day I can't sleep on my tum, it's the ONLY way to sleep as far as I'm concerned!

Failing that I can sometimes sleep flat on my back, but I don't think that's recommended either

Make the most of it now!!!

Ooh, I'd definitely still make the most of it if it's till comfortable to sleep on your tummy. I stopped being able to very early on because of feeling bloated, but at about 14 weeks that seemed to ease a bit and I had a couple more weeks of tummy sleeping! Not comfortable at all now, althoguh if baby gets in the right position I can do a sort of half sleeping on my tummy thing but it hurts my shoulder (if baby is not in the right position he gets the hump and kicks me insistently until I move! )

I'm still not used to sleeping on my sides (and back is just a no go!) so dfinitely make the most of it while you can!!

You can sleep on your back so long as you don't get any tingling in your legs. It's you that would suffer, and generally your body will let you know if you need to change position during any point in your pregnancy. Our LOs are so well protected, it's our joints and ligaments that do the suffering!
