Is it safe to sleep on your stomach as long as you are comfortable in early pregnancy?  I am not showing yet, but still worry about laying on my stomach.

It will not hurt you to lay on your stomach if it is comfortable.  As you get bigger, you will find it better on your side with a pillow in between your knees.  If you start suffering with heartburn & gas laying on your left side is best for relief.  Also, I read that when you lay on your left side the circulation is better to the uterus.  Stay comfy!

I don't see why it really wouldn't be safe. They usually say you should try and start trying to sleep on your side as soon as you can though because it is kinda hard to give up your favorite sleeping position....lol...Believe me it is...LOL

The left side is better for the baby really but if you lay on your right side nothing bad will happen. And if you find yourself waking up on  your stomach or back, just roll over onto your side....It won't hurt the baby.

i made ways to sleep on my tummy, even when i was huge, i would stick a pillow under my leg, and kinda be half on it and half off..... all the way up to delivery, perfectly fine!
