Tummy sleepers come in

nlvaden · August 2009

At what point are you going to/stop going to sleep on your tummy? It is getting a little uncomfortable but nothing that I cant fix with pillows.

I can't anymore...and I miss it so! Sad

Well right now when I roll over I get kicked. And if that doesn't make me move, my bladder gets squished. But yeah- pillows. I plan on laying whichever way is comfortable for the rest of the pregnancy.

i was no longer able to sleep on my belly by 15 weeks. it was just extremely uncomfortable. I always joke that the moment i pop my baby out i'm flipping over onto my stomach and having a nap right there in the delivery room! lol!

I still sleep on my tummy. I know everyone says you can do it until it gets uncomfortable...but what exactly is uncomfortable?

when I can't anymore. I sleep doing a 1/2 belly 1/2 side with a pillow under the belly and between my legs.

That is what I was hoping someone was going to tell me...

My uncomfortable is just having to have a pillow under one hip so I am a little propped up/not full stomach sleeping. I didnt know if I am hurting the kid or not by being "uncomfortable".

I stopped long ago... as soon as I could feel my uterus under me it just felt too weird - that was around 12 weeks.

My favorite sleeping position now is on one side with my bottom leg straight and top leg bent - so I'm a little bit tilted toward my belly.

uncomfortable for me was when it almost hurt, i felt my organs being squished and no matter how much i tried to manuver a pillow or two here and there i was unable to fall asleep. and if i layed like that long enough i almost started to ache so i figured it probably wasn't good for me or baby to lay like that anymore

this is exactly how i sleep now, except i use a body pillow to prop my top leg and belly on for extra support

I still do with my leg propping my stomach up a bit

I've been able to stay on my tummy up till now- last night was the first night I could feel pressure when I tried- let's just say I didn't have a very restful night- pillows don't help me though- I have heard of a thing called the snoogie or snoogle that is really supposed to help. We will see- I think the end of my good sleep are over. Sad day..

I stopped completely around 19 weeks. I still want to but it's not comfortable and the LO starts kicking, so I move. I'm honestly having a very hard time getting comfy, and I'm still quite small. Bah.

This. I slept this way even while getting induced at 38w3d (pre-e) at the hospital. I guess I'm a dedicated tummy sleeper!

i'm still a tummy sleeper. i have heard that's fine but aren't you supposed to stop sleeping on your back at a certain point? when?

I do the exact samething, my poor left shoulder can only be slept on for so long.

until it gets uncomfortable! I think i was able to until about 21-22 weeks last time...i'm getting bigger faster though so it may be in the next few weeks!

I still sleep on my stomach, usually with the blanket bunched up around the belly, propping me up.

ehicks · August 2009

I had to stop recently. I sleep half on my side, half on the side of my tummy. even that is a little uncomfy, but I get cramped sleeping on my side only. I put a pillow between my legs and it helps. I am getting a body pillow really soon. It's getting hard!!

swimrbride · August 2009

I sleep kind of in between my side and stomach but more on my stomach (does that make sense?). Sometimes it gets to the point that it is uncomfortable, but when its not I still sleep that way. I probably will continue sleeping this way as much as possible until I can't anymore.

This exactly. I just ordered my snoogle yesterday!
