It is scientifically safe, but I was too anxious so I used a long pregnancy pillow to keep me on my side. If you feel any discomfort, definitely ask your doc.

First trimester me you can sleep on your front without any issues. The baby is fully protected. Just switch to your left side once you reach month four.

Yes, in the first trimester the uterus is deep inside the pelvis, so it is safe. Sleep in whatever position makes you comfortable for now.

The baby is tiny like a mustard seed right now, floating safely. Sleep on your front while you can, because soon that big belly will make it impossible anyway!

Just sleep however you can get rest! With twins, my belly popped so early that stomach sleeping became a distant dream by week 9.

Reena Zaveri · Answer

My doctor explained that front sleeping won't hurt the baby early on because they are cushioned by fluid. However, starting side sleeping early helps you get used to it for the second trimester.

Arre don't stress too much, dear! It is totally fine to sleep on your stomach right now. Enjoy your sleep before the late-night feeds start!

I slept on my stomach in the first trimester too and then got worried. Did anyone else find it hard to transition to side sleeping later on?

I used to sleep on my stomach until my bump started showing around week 12. Your body will naturally tell you when to shift positions, so relax.

My tracking app says the uterus is behind the pubic bone in the first trimester, so stomach sleeping is totally fine. No need to worry about squishing the baby.
