sleeping on stomach?

wanaBmummy · Apr 7th, 2012, 17:34 PM

I've always been able to sleep on m right side or my stomach. When i first found out i was pregnant i wouldn't sleep on my stomach anymore and slept on my side. That lasted about a week or two of really crappy sleep and every since i lie on my stomach and am flat out.

How long have i realisticly got of this being ok? I'm 12 weeks on Monday and i'm just starting to think that i really should look at sleeping on my side again.

If not do you recon i could do something pillow wise for the time being? I mean its going to be impossible when i get to a certain size anyway.

What do you think?

I slept on my stomach when I was pregnant with my daughter until it became uncomfortable for me. She is fine

I also slept on my tummy till I couldn stand it any longer. My midwife told me to do the same thing. I stopped at 12 weeks I think because I couldn't stand it from that point on.

I'd give anything to still be sleeping on my stomach, my boobs hurt too much to even consider it

Sleeping on your tummy is safe so go for your life until it's uncomfortable. Sleeping on your back is the only cause for concern due to a big blood vessel being blocked off by an expanding uterus. Fret not, that isn't for a while yet!

I am a tummy sleeper, i am 13 weeks now and have found i have started to grafitate to lying half on my stomach half on my side..... Though my tummy is not particularily uncomfortable it often leads to me needing a wee when i lie on my tummy ...... Not good when you want sleep.
