Tummy sleepers

Are you still sleeping on your tummy or have you found it uncomfortable yet? I am 11 weeks and this week it has been so uncomfortable for me to sleep on my stomach. I toss and turn all night. Grrrrr!

    I am 12 weeks 6 days now and for the past week or so I also find it uncomfortable to sleep on my tummy or partially on my tummy. 

    I sleep on my side all the time now, I am wondering if I should start using a pregnancy pillow. For now I stick a small pillow between my legs and it makes me more comfortable.

    I'm 11 weeks, and I've had trouble sleeping on my tummy for a while. Sometimes I'm fine on my belly, sometimes it's painful. I know it's all bowel related because the uterus and baby are still tucked behind the pelvic bone at this point. I think I could still occasionally go to my belly up to 16 weeks with my first, and I'll probably keep trying with this one until it's completely impossible. I haven't broke out the Snoogle yet, but it helped last time.

    @Alyeena I also sleep with a pillow between my legs and that seems to help a lot. I'm just not a side or back sleeper so it's really hard to get used to. @camichael84 I think I will buy the snoogle soon.

    Just told hubby to get the pregnancy pillow out of the attic this morning after a rough night!

    I'll occasionally feel nauseous sleeping on my stomach but other than that no problems. I was able to sleep partially on my belly with DD.

    I'm only 9 weeks but I know at some point I'll have to give up tummy sleeping so I try to do it as much as possible now. I have multiple positions lately though bc it's hard to sleep through the night

    11 weeks here too and I can sleep on my belly for short periods, but then get uncomfortable. After we have our 12 week appointment on Monday, I'm ordering a snoogle since I've been struggling to get comfortable in any position. I'm really hoping it's a miracle-worker.

    I like to sleep on my tummy with one of my legs pulled up, so it's slightly shifted to the side.

    I've been a stomach sleeper my whole life but right around the time of my missed period (before I even found out we were expecting) my boobs got SO sore I couldn't sleep on my tummy anymore! It was crazy. And I haven't been able to since, I'm 10 weeks now. It actually hasn't been as hard as I thought to switch to my side, I def have to do the pillow between the knees trick too. Are the prego pillows really worth it for later on though?!
