How Does Everyone Sleep?

[LaDeeDa]

sleep how you want - believe me later on you'll move without even realising it if it's not the best place for you to be laying.....

try and get as much sleep as you can now it's so much harder to sleep in the 3rd tri

If I accidentally lie on my stomach for a while whilst sleeping, will my baby be harmed?

I slept on my tummy until about 33 weeks ... i'd say you'll be fine

Thanks. I feel much better now!!

Its safe to sleep on your belly for as long as it feels comfy...they say sleep on ur left side cause if u lie on ur right side that's where ur kidneys r and bubs weight can squash them and make it uncomfy, and sleeping on ur back puts pressure on ur spine and vena cava (big artery)...but ur body is a very clever thing and if ur on ur back and blood presure starts to drop you will roll onto your side. So sleep however is comfy for as long as poss. I've always been a belly sleeper but I find if I sleep on my belly now (25 weeks) I get constantly kicked by bubs. Have found having a L shaped pilow helps cause u can hug it and put between ur knees so u can sleep half on ur belly half on ur side. Hope this helps

I often wake up on my tummy or back and Im 33 weeks. Have always just gone with the flow, with all my pregnancies. I think your body will tell you if you shouldn't lie in a certain position. If I was restricted to left side only I think I'd go crazy!
