3 year old lying on top of me while pregnant?

My almost 3 year old likes to cuddle on my chest sometimes to go to sleep or just for some comfort if she is ill or had a bad dream. Obviously she’s getting quite big now and I’m worried it’s putting pressure on my stomach although I try to position her to one side. Is it safe to continue cuddling like this while pregnant?

Yep.
I used to carry and cuddle my then 2yo and used bump as a little shelf to carry her
This time around I still carry and cuddle my 6yo like that, I also still lay on stomach and back to sleep ( 20weeks) which I'm sure is far more pressure than 20kg
Just adjust when it's uncomfortable for you 😊

I slept on my front well into my 3rd trimester with my daughter and still sleeping on my front at 26 weeks this time around. I imagine that's more than a 3yo
How comfortable/squished do you feel when they are lying on you? If you don't feel like your stomach is being squashed and you don't feel discomfort you are alright to keep doing it.
