Im a stomach sleeper since forever and now in early weeks i keep waking up worried that i rolled onto my pet in sleep. Is it actually a problem this early or am i stressing for nothing? pls tell.
Yes, dear, it is absolutely safe in the early weeks. The little one is cushioned safely inside your womb. Once you cross the second trimester, you can transition to sleeping on your left side for better blood flow.
Yes, in the first trimester, it is totally fine to sleep on your stomach because the baby is tiny and well-protected inside your pelvis. As your bump grows, it will get uncomfortable anyway, so enjoy it while you can!
I felt so much guilt and fear the first time I woke up on my stomach in early pregnancy. But my doctor reassured me that the uterus is deep inside the pelvis early on, so baby is completely safe. Just sleep however you are comfortable.
Sleep on your stomach as much as you can right now, because in the 3rd trimester you will feel like a stranded turtle! The baby is super tiny right now, so it's perfectly safe. Enjoy your comfortable sleep while it lasts!
I used to wake up in a panic thinking I had squished my baby by sleeping on my belly! Honestly, the amniotic sac acts like a cushion, so early on it is completely fine. But if you feel anxious, you can start using a pregnancy pillow to train yourself to sleep on your side.
