sleeping positions


I was just wondering what positions you all sleep in.

I sleep on my front and still do at the moment but wondered if it could cause any problems, I have tried to sleep on my side but cant seem to get comfy.

I still lay on my front sometimes but mostly sleep on my side or back,
I think it's ok to sleep on your tummy til it gets uncomfortable for you

I read somewhere that it's best to start sleeping on your left side - from the 2nd trimester onwards you should do this, so it prepares you for when you need to.
I, however, sleep however I damn well please! Never one to go with the rules, then live to regret it!!!

I slept on my stomach throughout my first trimester and had no problems. Really the baby is so small at that point and very well protected, so you want be doing your LO any harm by sleeping on your front. As you get bigger you'll find that it's no longer comfortable to sleep in that position

Sleeping on your side is ment to be best for blood flood in the placenta I think I read somewhere. Later on in pregnance there are cusions you can get to help support you which either sit under your bump or there are long ones that can go under your bump and between your leg (see your pregnancy supplies catalog for photos).

I think so long as you don't sleep on your back you'll be OK for the time being.

Me personally I always sleep on my side but recently found myself slanted forward a lot more so my stomach touches the bed.

In the first trimester it does not matter, I say sleep on your tummy while you can, trust me you will miss it.
