Maybe this is a dumb question....is it ok to sleep on or lay on my stomach?

I'm almost 6 weeks pregnant and since I'm nowhere near showing is it ok to lay on my stomach? Maybe this is a dumb question but I just don't know the answer.

  • I'm pretty sure its OK! I'm 12 weeks and do. As long as u can its fine
  • Yeah, but once you get bigger, it hurts you. I don't think its bad for the baby but it is very uncomfortable for you. You will end up sleeping on your side eventually
  • I did. I always was most comfy on my stomach...but soon u won't be able to, for one it will no longer be comfortable and for 2..I read that later on its not that good for u and the baby won't like it. So u may wanna start tryin to sleep other ways to prepare for when u can't haha I'm 22ks now and I can't lay on it for too long and I have the hardest time sleeping
  • Thanks guys i LOVE sleeping on my stomach so I guess I'll take advantage of it as long as I can haha
  • I would say to stop laying on your belly around 14 ish weeks. I loved laying on it but im 25 weeks now and cant :( im jealous bc my boyfriend can sleep on his all he wants :p
  • It's perfectly fine to sleep on your belly as long as you feel comfortable. I slept on my belly the entire pregnancy with my son. When my belly started to get bigger, I slept on the front of my hip and my son would usually sleep on the other side of my belly. I was told by both my obgyn and the high risk specialist that sleeping on the belly won't hurt the baby.
