Is it ok???

To sleep on my stomach when I'm 15 weeks pregnant??

Re: Is it ok???

I'd say it's okay for as long as possible as long as it FEELS okay for you.

I'm 11 weeks, and I still sleep on my stomach and plan to for as long as I possibly can.

Re: Is it ok???

i think its ok as long as its comfortable for you.

I stopped early on...at about 8ish weeks I got too nervous and started sleeping on my sides but I think as you get into the 2nd trimester you are supposed to stop sleeping on your stomach.

Re: Is it ok???

that's what my doctor told me...because the uterus is growing so rapidly at that point. Lots of doctors say all different things though, so do what you are most comfortable with!

I think I'm going to start using my snoogle. I'm nervous to sleep on my stomach. This is going to be a big adjustment for me.

Re: Is it ok???

Thanks for posting this! I just have started having the same exact worry. I am 12 wks.

I'm 26 weeks, and I still sleep half on my belly, half on my side. Your body will tell you when you can't sleep on your belly any longer.

I would say try to start breaking the habit now.

It's not dangerous to sleep on your belly while pregnant, it just gets very uncomfortable so you will naturally stop doing it. I was a stomach sleeper but there is not way possible I could do that now. I started to train myself to sleep on my sides around 14 weeks. Avoid your back as you get further along, it puts pressure on the main artery that supplies the baby with oxygen and blood. The best position is on your left side but I switch between my right and left because my hips get sore if I stay on one side all night long.

I recommend getting a body pillow, it will really help once you're on your sides, especially as you get further along. Now that I am 28 weeks I couldn't sleep without it, the belly is just too uncomfy without something to prop it!!

i guess go with what your Dr tells you but I gave been sleeping partially on my stomach and I am 33 weeks! My Dr never said not too. I prop a body pillow halfway under me so at least not all my weight is on my stomach.

As long as you're comfortable I don't see why not!
