Is it ok for me to sleep on my stomache or do I need to sleep on my back or what? I would call my dr. but they are closed today and my first appt is next month. Thanks in advance.  |

I still sleep mostly on my stomach, but it can get uncomfortable. Talk to your doctor about how he advises that you sleep when you go to your first appointment. It's not a big deal at this point, though.  |

In order to turn over i have to wake up, sit up, turn over, get comfy again, and wait to fall back asleep. It's such a pain, and anything else causes my hips to get a little sore. So for now, you can sleep however, it won't effect your baby or anything. And enjoy it while it lasts!!  |

REALLY enjoy it while it lasts, lol.. because for a lot of people EVERY position for sleep is uncomfortable at the end of pregnancy  They say the best way to sleep is on your left side, you could start training yourself to sleep that way now if you want to. |
