39 weeks pregnant and I still sleep.on my tummy, its totally fine, when you get bigger you will feel uncomfortable to where you will want to turn WAY before you are doing any harm to your baby

I'm 20 wks & pretty big. Only way I can sleep is on my belly too. I bought a body pillow & put it in between my legs as I sleep on my side. Works wonders for me. Goodluck :)

Im 15wks and still sleeping on my tummy. I did it with my first pregnancy too, until it got too uncomfortable. I then used a boppy pregnancy pillow, and that helped.

Lying on your stomach is perfectly fine especially this early in your pregnancy. Before I became pregnant I slept on my stomach, as you progress you will find it difficult to do. I was able to sleep on stomach until 16 weeks depending on your tummy & how fast your belly grows.Try putting a pillow between your legs & sleep on your side.
