Guest guest Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 I think you are okay as long as you are comfortable but I bet you will not be sleeping that way much longer. Your baby will be having a grwonth spurt and it willbe like sleeping on a bowling ball, lol... I guess if you are tucking pillows under you too on the sides it would be more comfortable for you both. I used to roll over onto my stomach but there is no way I can do it now, my bely is too tender and hard... God Bless, Robin, NorthEastern, NY Age- 41 EDD- July 27th, 2004 IT'S A BOY!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 When I fall asleep I'm either on my side or back, but I always wake up on my stomach. I use a pillow when on my side to keep from rolling on my stomach, but no luck. Am I hurting my baby by sleeping on my stomach? So far it is not uncomfortable.

NOPE. =) Longer answer... your baby is cushioned inside there so very well...it would be uncomfortable for you well before it would become dangerous to baby. Your body won't let you do something bad for your baby - it will let you know when you're doing something not right.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Oh you lucky thing! I'm a stomach sleeper and not being able to do that from week 11 on has been awful. I understand that there is no real harm to you or the baby to lay on your stomach, but that it is preferrable to sleep on your side for best circulation. It was suggested that if you wake up on your stomach, just roll to your side and go back to sleep. Embrace the fact that you can still roll over in bed, LOL. I'm due only 6 days before you (albiet with twins) and sleeping in any position is nearly impossible these days.
