Sleeping on your stomach while pregnant

Are you used to sleeping on your stomach and wondering if you can continue to do so now that you are pregnant?

You should know that sleeping on your stomach in early pregnancy is not forbidden and is not dangerous for your baby. You will not hurt your baby, who is protected by the water sac in your uterus.

Whatever position you choose, if your baby feels uncomfortable, he'll let you know. From the second trimester on, this position may become uncomfortable for both of you, so it's best to adopt a position on your back or on your side.

I’m going through the same thing lol. I wake up scared because I know we’re not meant to be sleeping on our backs because of potential blood flow issues 😅

Will it cause a miscarriage by sleeping on my stomach? I've been stressing about it. I always end up on my stomach when I fall asleep on my side.

You can sleep on your stomach early in pregnancy. It's just going to be a challenge when your stomach starts growing. It's lying on your back that's not safe sometime during the 2nd trimester and on.

A lot of recent research even shows tummy sleeping doesn't make a difference since they're so cocooned in there. It won't hurt the baby early in pregnancy though. It just gets uncomfy when your belly starts getting in the way

When baby tells you last night that it’s no more sleeping on your stomach and I’m only 8w3d. The only part I really don’t like because I love to sleep on my stomach. I guess my left side it is for the rest of my pregnancy. Ima miss sleeping on my stomach.
