i wouldnt worry about it to much i lay on my tummy and im nearly 14 weeks now, it dosnt say anywere in text book that its a no no so as long as your comfy i would not worry, i no laying on your back in the 3rd trimester is a no no as the baby presses on your main vain and can cause you to feel faint ect but thats all it says about how and not to sleep. x x
i thought as much, you know the funny thing is i cant sleep on my back now without feeling uncomfortable. i feel like its major pressure and is not a good feeling to have. well i guess i will just have to enjoy the sleeping on me tum as much as possible. ta

i no this will sound stupid but wont it harm or sqash you baby sum how? x
Baby is well protected. You won't harm baby by sleeping on your tummy. I was worried about this and was constantly waking up to move onto my side untill my mum told me not to worry and just go with what is comfy. I can sleep on my side and sometimes fall asleep that way but more often than not i end up on my stomach.
