I feel most comfortable sleeping on my stomach all the time. Was never like this. I could only lay on one side. Anyways, thing is, it makes my belly feel weird. Like a cramping feeling and like there's something underneath me (obvi cuz I'm pregnant) and it makes me feel like I'm crushing the baby. I dont feel comfy laying any other way most times. I know they say my baby is well protected by my belly and placenta and amniotic sac but I can't help but think it will cause some kinda harm to my baby or me. Am I wrong? If not what should I do to be comfy in other positions?

I can only sleep on my back and I read that it cuts off some oxygen to the baby or something. So I try to prop myself up on pillows at least. It hurts my belly to lay any other way. :/

you are okay to sleep on your stomach til its uncomfortable. I was still able to do so comfortably at 27 weeks and she's doing just fine.

if its uncomfortable and making you cramp then you shouldn't. some woman can and some cant.

@goodjourney, Thank you. I kinda suspected something was wrong when I started feeling like I was laying on something and started to cramp. Would you know if I cause any injury to the baby?
@lost041 & @geekymomma13 It's a comfortable position to lay in. Like my go to position when laying down but it causes discomfort when I do cuz it feels like I rolled over basically on top of the baby. I feel it underneath me. So is it then causing a risk or it's still fine?
@morganmommy79 I like that pillows idea. I'll definitely try that. Cuz even when laying on my side I will over to my belly in my sleep. But do you use pregnancy pillows or just regular? If you use pregnancy would regular be just as comfortable?

I'm not sure if youre having cramping. I never did but I could feel her while on my stomach. maybe ask your Dr about the cramping and if it could be bad @queen_zizi

i dont think it will cause injury unless u continue to do it. the cramping is your body's way of letting you know to stop

@queen_zizi I haven't been able to find a Pregnancy pillow yet so I stack regular ones and put a large pillow under my knees too. Way more comfy that way.
