Front sleeping

I'm 27 weeks tomorrow and find I'm still sleeping half on my front with one leg bent up if that makes sense?

My bump is still quite squidgy due to my weight so I can still get comfortable like this, so will sleeping on my front until I physically can't harm the baby at all?

I'm 32 weeks and still front sleeping (although often wake on my side now)! I also did this with my first pregnancy.
It won't harm the baby, the only issue will be discomfort for you as your bump gets bigger!

P.s. top tip for front sleeping in the later stages - create a "nest" for your bump and use that to support you. I have a V shaped pillow that's useful for this purpose if I can't get comfy in the 'one leg up' position that you describe (it's my current favourite too)!

Amazing thanks so much!! Already have a v people that seems to end up on the floor so I'll give that a try when I get a bit bumpier!
