1st Trimester

can't sleep on my stomach anymore...

I normally sleep on my stomach, I have always been like that.  However, shortly before my bfp I started having issues with laying on my stomach.  I have a body pillow and prop myself up against it so I am basically sleeping on my side. 

I know that at some point your body will tell you not to sleep on your stomach anymore but it is just weird that for me at least it started before I even knew I was pregnant. 

Does anyone else have issues with sleep on your stomach? 

Re: can't sleep on my stomach anymore...

  • I am a tummy sleeper normally, and was able to continue sleeping on my tummy until this last week. I just started feeling like it was putting too much pressure on my stomach. So I'm doing the same as you, using a pillow to "cuddle with" that keeps me on my side. I've heard some people say they had to stop sleeping on their tummy early because of breast pain. And night time nausea can also be a factor.

  • I agree with the breast pain as well.  I try to move to my stomach even for a few minutes and before I even get to feeling uncomfortable my boobs are KILLING me.  The whole thing stinks.
  • i have the pressure thing.  it started last week.  i feel like i downed a gallon of water and im trying to lay on it.  im guessing my bloated intestines are revolting.  dont blame them...
