Feel free to lay on your tummy until you can no longer get comfy anymore. For me, I had to stop this week (week 17). Also, it's best not to lay on your back, because of how the uterus restricts blood flow to your placenta and also legs. I know you didn't mention the back, just fyi. :)

Yeah I'm not laying right on my tummy so not too much presure and apparently there's enough sac around the baby for protection x

Thats the only way I can get comfy as well. But I've heard people say as long as your comfortable it's fine
