Can I sleep on my front in early pregnancy

[RedCountryRoads]

I'm 7 weeks along and have always slept on my front. I look like a drunk who has collapsed face down, arms and legs akimbo when i sleep.

I sleep so much better on my front. I know that once I get a bump it wont be comfortable and I'll have to learn to sleep on my side.

Sounds a bit daft but I'm a first timer and a bit concerned, am I doing the baby any harm?

Thanks!

As long as you're comfortable then its fine - your baby is still tucked into your pelvis so you're not even putting any pressure on anyway before 12 weeks :)

No, it's fine, baby is well cushioned. It will start to get uncomfortable, unfortunately. I'm a front sleeper and slept terribly when forced onto my side!

Op get yourself a wedge pillow, I'm a front sleeper but it's getting very uncomfortable so I tried the wedge and it really helps with sleeping on your side.

Thank you. I feel better now xxx

I've not really told many people so i can't really ask anyone yet.

I didn't with dd1 . Dd2 I was more relaxed and slept in my front until 20 weeks. At that point the ungrateful little so and so would just kick and kick until I moved . Enjoy it while you can I reckon. ....

second sleeping on front until too uncomfy to! baby will let you know. congrats btw.

Sleep however you feel comfortable.... That's the rule I follow throughout pregnancy. I'm still occasionally waking up on my back at 37 weeks... Can't help what happens when you're unconscious!

I'm 25 weeks and still sleep on my front part of the time (sort of 'recovery position' if that make sense!). It's weird, because I'm sure it was uncomfortable by now with DS1, but we do have a new bed and I'm sure the foam mattress makes a massive difference!

Yep! Front sleeper here too! Am 22 weeks and same as previous poster, I've taken to the recovery position too. I hitch one leg up so my weight is on one hip and on the other hitched up knee

Glad it's not just me, my husband thinks i'm really odd because i sleep face down in to the pillow as well :) Not sure how i breathe but it's so comfy.

Ooh, I'm pleased to see some other people sort of sleeping on their stomachs in later pregnancy.

I'm 25 weeks with DC2 and much more relaxed about it this time round, but was still a bit worried I might be squashing the poor baby!

I slept on my front till about 26 weeks! (She is fine, and doesn't look at all squished )

where do u get a wedge?

Amazon do the wedge pillows; honestly they're great! Take a lot of weight off the bump!

I'm 30 weeks and try to sleep on my side, but sort of roll partly onto my stomach. Can't seem to help it, and it doesn't hurt but the baby kicks if I lie too far to the front. I have a wedge pillow, bought from the same shop that sells cots etc.

I'm 14 weeks and a tummy sleeper too. Will carry on for as long as possible then get a wedge as I did last pregnancy, it does help.
