Sleeping on my Tummy - is it ok?

[smurf]

Hiya just wondered is it ok to sleep on your tummy in the early days. This is my most fav and comfortable position but not sure if its advised against.

 

[x-kirsty-x]

I still do

I dont think you can harm the baby, its more for your own comfort that they advise you not to I think

 

[smurf]

Oh great thanks Kirsty.

i love sleeping on my tummy and just couldnt get to sleep not doing it, im 11 weeks now and its so uncomfortable sleeping on my tummy which upsets me so much so i put a pillar in between my legs and lie on that like twist my body so one leg is over the pillar and my tummy is lieing flat on the pillar, if you understand that try it! really comfy xx

i was sleeping on my tummy till i was nearly 20 weeks, it dont harm baby, your body will soon let you know when you can no longer sleep on your tummy anymore, it just gets really uncomfortable.

Hi!

I 7 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child, I found it OK to sleep on my tummy until around 14-15 weeks then it felt uncomfortable so I began to sleep on my back. I then ended up with cramp in my legs every night and found out that it wasnt safe to sleep on your back after 20 weeks as it interferes with babys blood supply! No wonder I had cramp in my legs!!!!!

i don't and i'm 15 weeks... i don't want to risk anything... i found it easier to sleep on my sides or back when i'm early in my pregnancy, it will prepare me for when my belly is big..

Early on I don't see why not when you don't have a bump in the way. I was told though to lie on my left side as it increases the blood flow through the placenta. I sleep on my left anyway so that was pretty handy.

Sleeping on your tummy is fine in the early days. I do sometimes, but often I sleep on my left side.
I started sleeping on my left when I was pg with Lydia and it just sorta remained that way.

Hi, not sure about sleeping but my yoga teacher told me not to do any postures where you lie on your front... Kate x

I have that problem to, i usually tell him to roll over or tell him he smells so he rolls over

I am more comfortable lying on my right but it worries me as people keep saying its bad.

I'm such an awful girlfriend
