stomach sleeper

Hopefully not a stupid question. I was just wondering how long I can continue to sleep on my stomach, i don't want you risk anything.  I am 5 weeks 2 days today.  I had a miscarriage back in July and I'm trying to take every precaution I can to make sure it doesn't happen again.

I had the same question a couple weeks ago I'm 15 weeks and it's the only way I can sleep, I still don't need a pillow but as you get bigger just wedge a body or pregnant pillow to give ur tummy support

Oh & sleeping on your stomach wont cause you to miscarry-- your baby is VERY small & you wont hurt your baby by doing so :)

Im almost 37 weeks & am still able to sleep on my stomach. Once you hit about 15-16 weeks, my doc said you shouldnt sleep on your back becuase it reduces the oxygen for your baby-- but i can sleep just fine on my stomach! I obviously sleep slanted on my belly lol but if you wedge a pillow in between you where your belly can rest, its very comfortable! :)
