Question I get worried

so in the middle of the night I sometimes wake up and realize I'm laying on my tummy. ( I am a belly sleeper ) I've been trying to not sleep on my stomach though as to I'm 15 almost 16 weeks pregnant and I've noticed recently when I realize I'm laying on my belly and go to turn over my belly feels really sore alittle painful and such! Is this hurting the baby?! I'm so scared I'll hurt him. I've tried everything to not roll on my belly in the middle of me sleeping pillows on both my sides and such. Idk what to do but it concerns me. I also haven't been sleeping good at all any advice is appreciated

You're only 15 weeks so it's fine to sleep on your belly. I slept on my stomach until about 30 weeks and now I'm almost 35 weeks and I still sleep halfway on my stomach. Your baby is very well protected so you don't have to worry about hurting him. If it's more comfortable for you to sleep on your belly then go ahead and lay on your belly.
