I'm 15 weeks and am still occasionally able to get comfortable sleeping on my stomach. At this point, my biggest issue is trying to get my sore boobs comfortable enough so I don't feel like I'm totally smooshing them. I'm a little worried about when I can no longer sleep comfortably on my stomach because right now, that's the only position that allows me to get decent sleep. I doze in and out all night when I'm on my side and have never been able to sleep on my back, which apparently isn't a desirable position when you're pregnant anyhow. Anyone have any magical solutions for stomach sleepers? I'm guessing I'm going to have to just suck it up eventually and sleep after the baby is born. *sigh*

Re: Stomach sleepers - want to commiserate?
I have a body pillow and it's worked wonders! I sort of lift bump onto it and wedge myself into it, twist my hips and lift a leg up... If that makes any sense! Ha!
It still kind of feels like I'm sleeping on my front but not squashing bump.

There will come a time when even just rolling from one side to another will be something you'll have to wake up to do. And it will require strategy and many noises.
I didn't think i'd survive side-sleeping. Because typically i hate it. But the snoogle was completely miraculous and I would absolutely call this a must-have of pregnancy. (I call it the noodle, the sausage) I've only tried one, the one that rolls up like a pretzel. There are a ton of shapes. I think most of them are good. I know it doesn't sound like it would make a huge difference but it gives you that support that you lack sleeping on your side. That lack of support is what most non-side-sleepers hate about side sleeping.
Honestly side sleeping isn't as bad as it seems, I was a stomach sleeper pre pregnancy. You learn to live with it. Invest in a great pillow.
