Re: belly sleepers...

  • Sometimes I like to fall asleep on my belly but after a little while I turn to my side.  I worry about it too but it is comfortable for a few mins.

  • O! I haven't been able to sleep at all for the same reason!  I am so worried about how to sleep.  I always end up on my back in the morning though.  I try sleeping on my side and my arm falls asleep and wrist starts aching.  I can't tell you when is the time to start always sleeping on your side, I wish I knew.

  • i read somewhere that if you are sleeping on your belly (or back or side) and it isn't comfortable for you and baby, that you will wake up in the middle of the night. so as long as you aren't waking up from discomfort, i would think that you are not hurting the baby.
  • WTEWYE is the only book/resource I've read that says not to sleep on your stomach.  Their reasoning? It's not comfortable for you.  So, if it's still comfortable, just do it. (I did ask my OB about it, BTW, and she was fine with it) I sleep on my stomach, side, and kind of a mix of the two sometimes.  I also sometimes find myself on my back and just switch to my side.  Don't work yourself up about it!

  • Ya, I end up on my belly almost every night... I figure the LO will wake me up if it isn't comfy... plus I am not showing at all, so I am not sure I have much to squish yet!

  • I am a belly sleeper, and I will be sad when I can't sleep that way anymore. I'm not showing yet, but if I lay wrong I feel like I'm laying on a little ball so I just adjust a bit. I've actually modified my belly sleeping by turning my body a little to the left or right.
  • I am and I am not worried about it. I figure it is OK as long as I am not on my back to cut off the blood flow!
  • I always fall asleep on my belly! I have a pillow under one of my legs and belly, so I guess I'm kind of sideways. It's the only way I can fall asleep. My little man always kicks me in that position so I hope that he's ok in there!

  • I think if you're comfy don't worry about it.  Now, at 15 weeks, this is the first week where I notice a little pressure on my belly while I'm sleeping on it...but last night I angled my body slightly with a pillow and it was fine.

    I will be sad to not be a tummy sleeper anymore.

  • I do a belly-side combo thing.

    I start out on one side and eventually slump forward a bit with the "upper" leg hiked up to support the weight so I'm not completely flat or face first. So I don't put all the pressure on my belly, which is very much showing now.
