Do you still sleep on your stomach?

I know that they say that sleeping on the side is best for baby and to surround yourself in pillows, but I have always slept on my stomach and can't get out of the habit. Isn't the womb protected enough to not harm the nany if I do so? I am 19 wks pregnant. So I am getting a bump now..

Answer:
Wow, at 19 wks you can still sleep on your stomach? I'm jelous. I'm a stomach sleeper too, and well, I'm only 9 weeks and I can't do it anymore. I wake up everytime I go to lay on my stomach because I have this knot right below my belly botton. I have retrain myself for when I'm asleep not to get on my belly so I can get a full nights sleep. I'm insanely jelous! LoL. I'm sure that the baby is fine just make sure that it's not painful to you and your not cramping when you do lay on your belly. Good luck and congrats!

Answer:
well just be sure that your always on a bed, not a hard surface like the floor if you lay on your stumach

its ok as long as you can stand it

but soon it will get too painful for your stumach or breasts to even lay on your stumach

enjoy it while you can

Answer:
I also used to sleep on my stomach all the time…it was the only way I could get to sleep. Although I did have to start to sleep on my side as it started to get quite uncomfortable around 12-14 weeks (early I know), but you get used to the change, it just may take a while.

Good luck for the rest of the pregnancy.

Answer:

Answer:
I read somewhere, you will be uncomfortable faaaarrr before the baby is in danger.

Answer:
It's fine for you to sleep on your stomach for as long as it is comfortable. You'll just notice that soon as your bump gets bigger it will just make it even harder for you to sleep on your stomach. Not just that, but it will just be plain uncomfortable! But other than that there's nothing really wrong with it!

Answer:
In a few weeks it will not even be a option to you. When your tummy gets bigger there isn't any way to sleep like that and not feel horribly sick. After 20 weeks you can't sleep on your back ever until birth, you can compress a veil and cut blood flow. Soon it will be your sides or sleep in the lazy boy sitting up with your feet up on something. I did it last night because my hips are hurting really badly from being on my side, like there's nothing left of them but bone!! Much Luck!

Answer:
For circulation it's not good to sleep on your back or stomach. Body pillows are the best and can help you adjust your sleeping style until the baby's born.

I am 17 weeks and would not sleep on my stomach.
