Is lieing on a bit of your belly safe

Hey ladies
I'm 23 weeks tomorrow n I can't seem to sleep on my side of back. I can only sleep on my belly.  I know the further along I am I will have to sleep on my side. But for now is sleeping on a bit of my belly ok. It isn't all of it but only a little. I'm worried I'm hurting my baby girl. If I sleep on my left side she kicks so I tend to sleep on my right.

I sleept on my belly to the day I gave birth. I have never been a back sleeper but at my tummy I sleep so easy. But for wierd reasond I am sleeping on the sides wich I never use to do and hated.
It is actually better to sleep on your right side, because then you wouldnt give much pressure on your organs like your hart etc, so higly recommended to sleep on ur right

+sleeping on your left is what everyone will recommend(: it technically is best for you,  but you are still early so back, sides, tummy are all safe and cozy
