I naturally sleep on my stomach, but since I've been pregnant I've slept on my side. I'm starting to get used to it, but I've lost a lot of sleep.
Is this smart to change my sleeping habits?

It will cause your baby to be born naked.

Try to get used to it, put a pillow under the side of your stomach when you sleep on your side. I liked to sleep on my back but the further I got along, my stomach couldn't stretch that far anymore.
As the baby gets bigger, there is no way you can sleep on your stomach, it eventually will cause discomfort for the baby and they will let you know.
It's a hard adjustment but you will get used to it.
As for the sleep, you're gong to loose a lot more.
If you have anymore questions, drop me a line.

Well I know I heard a rumour about sleeping on your tummy when pregnant will hurt the baby.
I just looked it up and I found this
sleeping on your stomach and back is both bad... when you sleep on your back it puts pressure on the placenta and cuts off the blood supply to the baby, if you do sleep on your back its better to be angled so your not directly on your back..... and as far as stomach i think once your tummy gets bigger being on your tummy isn't gonna be so comfy your gonna want to lay on your side or something

No you couldn't hurt the baby. But further along in your pregnancy it would be highly impossible to sleep on your stomach. If you're comfortable to sleep on your stomach go for it. You will lose enough sleep later on, so get as comfortable as you can get now.

It's almost impossible to sleep on your stomach when pregnant. You'll get used to having little sleep when the baby gets here.

NOT A GOOD IDEA SPECIALLY WHEN YOUR FARTHER ALONG...SAFER ON YOUR SIDE AND ONE SIDE IS BETTER THEN THE OTHER I WAS TOLD BUT FOR GET WHICH SIDE IS BEST...I'LL LOOK IT UP!
HERE YOU GO LOOK HERE!!!!!!!
Some doctors specifically recommend that pregnant women sleep on the left side. Because your liver is on the right side of your abdomen, lying on your left side helps keep the uterus off that large organ. Ask what your doctor recommends - in most cases, lying on either side should do the trick and help take some pressure off your back.

Well you wouldn't be able to sleep on your stomach if you tried. So I don't know if it would hurt it or if it's just impossible to do. Your sleeping habits are changing just because you are PG. They change during that time.

No, it would not hurt the baby but there is no way for you to sleep on your stomach after you start getting bigger.

You're not going to hurt the baby, but as you get further along in your pregnancy, it will become more uncomfortable to sleep that way. Of course, it will be uncomfortable to do alot of things the further in your pregnancy you are.

I don't think you can hurt the baby but my wife always found it more comfortable to sleep on her left side when she was with child.

The baby is protected. It's safe to lay on your stomach.
