Most doctors will tell you to do whatever's most comfy. I'm a major back sleeper. The only issue there is making sure you're slightly elevated to keep a good blood flow.

Yes it's okay she/he will let you know when you can't anymore, try not to sleep on your back though. I slept on my stomach till about 20 weeks when she hit a growth spurt now I sleep kinda half on my side half on stomach with a pillow wedged in.

Okay, I didn't know if it would hurt my child or not. And I heard about not sleeping on your back. And I just wanted to make sure. Thank you(:
