I have never been a stomach sleeper but lately its the only way I have been comfortable.  And even at that I can't sleep much more than 3 hours at a time.

its ok for now but the bigger you get you wont be able to as it will be so uncomfortable, the same with sleeping on your back, as you get bigger sleeping on your left side is best if you can as this increases the blood flow to the placents
