laying on your stomach

Vans18 · September 2011

So you ladies think it's ok to lay on my stomach, if I still can? DH says i'm squishing the baby but I don't feel anything. I'm 16 weeks btw. Thanks!

Until it's uncomfortable, go for it. Baby is fine, floating around in a bunch of fluid.

i still do it too but i usually bend one leg up so i'm propped up a tiny bit. i think it takes the weight off my back a bit better too.

The leg prop makes it so comfy! I do this too.

Soooooooooooo jealous!! I haven't been able to sleep on my stomach since week 10ish and I'm an avid stomach sleeper. I couldn't even imagine it at 32 weeks - you must be so super tiny!! Enjoy your tummy sleeping for me ladies!!! I will live vicariously through you :-)

My SIL slept on her stomach through her whole pregnancy. My neice is a beautiful genius (I may be a bit biased Wink

). I don't think it hurt her a bit. Lay how you are comfortable.

If it's comfortable, I can't see it being a problem. There is no way I could at this point - I feel like I'm laying on a ball now & it's not fun - I am a little jealous that you still can!

I am 16 weeks as well and still lie on my tummy. I also usually bend one knee but it is only because I am more comfortable that way. You are not squishing the baby. If you still can, do it!!

Just had to stop over the weekend...just uncomfortable and kept waking up. Your body lets you know when to stop.

true story.

for some reason, people always have an idea that there's like one thin layer of skin protecting the baby from the outside world or something. Wink

Do it while you still can, I say..:o)

I wish I could lay on my stomach it hurts me! Its like the babe is screaming and punching when I am. I have been sleeping terribly because of it.

I was thinking the same thing, I am stomach sleeper and that was one thing I couldn't wait to do again when I was pg with dd. Right now I am still sleeping on my stomach and will continue to do so until I am not comfortable.

defanatly do it while you can, it doesnt hurt babe at all, your body will let you know what is ok and not ok!!!!

enjoy it while you can....i havent been able to do this for WEEKS-MONTHS i cant wait to sprawl on my back and stomach again!!!

I'm so glad you asked this, OP! I got a massage on Tuesday, and I was on my stomach for half of it. I was perfectly comfortable, but afterwards I started getting paranoid that it was bad for baby. Embarrassed

I'm glad everyone seems to agree that it's not.
