I've always slept on my tummy, but had a terrible nights sleep last night cos everytime I rolled onto it it was really uncomfortable. Just wondered if anyone else has had the same? X
 
yes, i cant sleep on my tummy feels like sleeping on a stone.
 
Yeah I'm the same. Put a pillow under the side of your tummy when on front. It helps x x
 
I've switched more to my sides for comfort. A pillow between your legs (in addition to the one under the side of your tummy) helps too. I've also read that if you really want to try to sleep flat on your tummy, put a pillow under your hips to take off some of the pressure.
 
I try to sleep on my tummy cos it's my fave position but it's getting harder and always have to use a pillow under me now!
 
7 weeks is pretty early to have to give up sleeping on your tummy. I would suggest sleeping on your tummy with one leg bent upwards towards your chin to relieve some pressure. Then the next stage would be to put a small pillow under that knee to raise your hip up further. You'll know when you cannot sleep on your tummy anymore, you will literally feel that your uterus is no longer tucked into your pelvic bone. I'm 11 weeks with twins and second pregnancy and still able to sleep on my tummy. I do notice, however, that I am basically an insomniac after about 2-3am and am keenly aware of any sort of goings on in my belly area while I sleep which I less notice when sleeping on my back or side. Too bad I get headaches from sleeping on my back. I don't look forward to losing the ability to sleep on my belly. Especially if I have to have another c-section.
 
I am still sleeping on my tummy, I bend my leg up but it is fine. My boobs get sore but my belly is ok at the moment.

if you're first time mom,7 weeks is nothing...I haven't show till 7th month...but with any other pregnancy,7 weeks is like 3-4 mos..and no it is not comfy at all...I am 7 weeks now and cannot sleep on the stone...this is my 3 baby and I am slightly showin already!
 
This is my second and Im unable to sleep on my tummy... but only because my boobies are so damn sore! xx
 
On my belly is my favourite sleeping position too! I'm still sleeping quite happily on it, but if you're not I'd suggest a pillow for extra support, like the other ladies have said. I am making the most of it while I can!
 
I used to only sleep on my stomach but I find it makes me want to run to the toilet all night now and its uncomfortable :( so iv switched to my side with a pillow beside me to hug and a pillow between my knees. Its comfortable after a lot of shifting around to get them in the right place lol.
 
Thanks for all ur replies! I am a first timer, and last night was the first night it was so uncomfortable - I think it was a combination of stomach and boobs! Maybe it was just a one off - haven't got any bump or anything yet either. Thanks again x
 
I've always been a tummy sleeper, but I find that my boobs hurt so much now when I wake up....almost unbearable pain. This is my first pregnancy, and I am almost 11 weeks now. My boobs are really too big, that's probably a lot of the problem too, LOL!
 
its scary how much your boobs grow in first tri eh !?!
 
My doctor told me to try and sleep on my left side as much as possible, and to avoid sleeping on my stomach and back... has anyone else been told this? I am 11 weeks and sleeping on my stomach isn't uncomfortable at all..
 
Yes I sleep on my tummy, but my problem isn't my belly its my now jumbo boobies in the way :dohh: and they are just so itchy and sore ARG ! *Scratch*

I am having to learn to sleep on my side :cry:
