laying on your tummy while sleeping...

edited May 2011 in Second pregnancy
So this might seem an odd question.. but as we all know the right side is the best side for us to sleep on. I however, am a big fan of tossing and turning... right ,left, on my stomach. I do refrain from the back though. I was just curious if anyone in their 20 weeks is still laying on their tummies, and if anyone knows * based on fact and not opinion* that laying on your tummy is bad for u or the baby, please let me know. Thanks for the comments :)

  • The left side is best to sleep on not right. Lol, but its ok to sleep on ur stomach if u are comfortable with it. If it causes u no pain then u r good to go!
  • I have tried sleeping on my stomach and it is really comfortable to be but not so much for my little princess. She kicks and flips and does all kinds of things in there when I try to sleep on my stomach.

    I'm almost 25 wks and still find myself laying on my tummy. I've always been a tummy sleeper. When I wake up I always turn back to my left side... but in my experience it doesn't harm baby...since I've done it with my other pregnancies And my boy's are just fine :)
  • Im 21 weeks and I still do. I just stick ny leg out so my legs make a 4 that way im not completly on it. Briggam usually kicks the crap outta me if he wants me to move lol,

  • All of you who can sleep on your tummy, I've got 1 word for you LUCKY! Lol I've always slept on my tummy but from the very beginning of me getting prego I couldn't do it anymore at first it felt like I ws trying to sleep with like a rock under me and now that I'm 37 weeks if I were to try it'd probably feel like I'm trying to lay on a basketball! Lol =/ I miss being able to sleep on my tummy and can't wait for my princess to be here so I can get back to it! Lol I hate tossing n turning from one side to the other!! Lol
  • I think like everyone else said, if youre comfortable, you shouls be fine:) your body will tell you if some things not okay. I used to only sleep on my tummy and literally ever since i found out i was pregnant my bf freeeaaaaks out if i sleep on it. He literally would wake me up in the middle of the night if he noticed i had rolled over on my stomach. Lol! Hes all 'youre smushing my kid!' I couldnt get mad cuz i love that he cares lol
  • Im confused now, I was told not to sleep on your right side as i cuts bloodflow off...is this not right?
  • lEFT SIDE IS THE BEST SIDE TO GET OXYGEN TO UR BABY U CAN SLEEP ON UR STOMACH IF IT IS COMFORTABLE I CAN'T ANY LONGER THE BACK CAUSE BACK PROBLEMS GOOD LUCK
  • @preggointx I know that, I was saying I was told NOT to sleep on your right side... but I see now that was already posted above.
  • I'm 25 weeks and everytime I even attempt to lay down with my leg kicked out to the side Kaylee starts kicking and punching...so I'm guessing that's her way of telling me that my tummy is her territory for now :-( ...I wish I could still sleep on my stomach though!
  • Laying on my tummy is the only way I can sleep. I slept on my tummy with my first, I was paranoid so I took a lot of pillows, like 5 or six and created a crater for my belly. She turned out fine. She just kicked a lot with with the extra pressure.

    This time around, I just kind of lay in-between my sides and top of my tummy like some derpy lop-sided whale. Lol

    I'm sure this one is fine too, it Judy's gets cramped and this one kicks too. I am 27 weeks.

  • my SO's mom said she slept on her stomach all through out her pregnancy with him and he turned out ok.. it personally hurts me to do it.. so i guess u should go by whether it hurts or not
