I've always slept on my tummy all my life, its the most comfortable for me. Lately, I have only been sleeping on my side, just in case, because I'm scared it might be bad for the baby.

Answer
It is safe to sleep on your stomach when you first get pregnant, but it will become very uncomfortable for you to continue sleeping that way. Later in pregnancy it is best for the baby for you to sleep on your left side, because this allows the best blood flow to the baby.
Answer
No, in the beginning of pregnancy until about 3-4 months depending on the amount your baby has grown is okay. However after that, it is reccomended to only sleep on your sides. This becomes more uncomfortable as the pregnancy progresses, but putting a pillow between your legs can help. Sleeping on your back is not necessarily bad, but it puts unwanted pressure on a major artery that runs down your spine and carrys blood throughout the body to your legs and feet. Sleeping on your back can decrease the blood flow throughout your body making your heart work harder and making it sometimes harder to breathe, especially as you get closer to your delivery date. The best way to sleep, as reccomended by doctors is on the left side. However sleeping on your right side is fine as well. Hope thie helps!
Answer
If you have a waterbed you can!!
Answer
I just asked my doctor (I'm 35 weeks and it is the only position I can stand for more than a few minutes), and she said that as long as I'm comfortable there is no danger sleeping on my stomach; my body would tell me if there was a problem.

I slept on my stomach the whole time I was pregnant, since it's flat, I have a longer torsel. My baby turned out normal except he has been sleeping on his stomach ever since he was born.

I think its ok right now but as you get bigger I can see you changing your mind since it will be a lot of pressure on you. You really should sleep on your left side if you can because it provides the most oxygen to you and the baby. But for now if it is comfortable for you, knock yourself out. (Don't really haha)

I slept on my stomach with both of my kids until my 6th and 7th month (respectively) and they both turned out fine with no smushed parts.
If you're comfortable with it, go ahead. You need all the sleep you can get now.

Nope!!! Baby will not even notice, I promise. This position will become quite uncomfortable for you, however! Sleep however you can best and don't worry.
