sleeping on belly

I just turned 20 weeks today and I've looked up & everyone says its fine but everytime I sleep on my belly my baby will go crazy kicking & moving around. Even if he wasn't moving before then. So I just want to know if it affects him at all either he doesn't like it or its squishing him?

Haha!! I know what you mean about cute clothes! I still have a lot of stuff from when my girls were babies cause I don't want to get rid of them, they are too cute! And of course still! My girls have long blonde hair and I always put bows in their hair and daddy can't stand it! He says they're not an accessory! Lmao

Tell her congrats :) Yes, I'm having a girl and I have so many cute dresses picked out for the summer for her to wear :) I just hope she doesn't stay in there too long. I don't want her over cooked lol.

I was always told once we are in a super comfy position the babies like to move because we aren't moving to rock them back to sleep or anything. It ***** when you are almost asleep and then the baby decides to wake up lol.

Well then as long as it does t bother you keep at it baby girl!! And I am too smiley, hopefully we both hear something, I know you and my sister were due the same day, she had hers yesterday. Are you having a girl? Sometimes they like to be late as if we didn't already know that!! Lol just like we do when he have somewhere to be!

Well I've always been a belly sleeper with my arms wrapped around my pillow, & its not uncomfortable but just makes me wonder if he doesn't like it. But if it doesn't hurt him he can just keep on kickin :p

It could be from where you are relaxed and the baby thinks it play time lol. If you feel uncomfortable sleeping on your belly it's best not to. I would lay a pillow down and sleep half way on my tummy, half way off with my belly laying on the pillow and it was pretty comfy.

I slept on my belly til I was 30 weeks with this pregnancy and then after 30 weeks I couldn't! It gets to where it starts hurting but it doesn't hurt the baby they have so much comfort in there! But I would stop if it gets too uncomfortable.
