When Should I Stop Sleeping on my Stomach During Pregnancy?

So you're expecting. In the beginning, you were able to sleep on your stomach still with no problems. But as you got bigger, you found that that was not very comfortable and besides, after 20 weeks of pregnancy, you really shouldn't sleep directly on either your stomach or your back. Sleeping on your back, the weight of the uterus can cause large veins to compress, reducing the amount of blood flow. This could be dangerous, and so it's not recommended.  Sleeping on your stomach isn't going to be very comfortable and you may not get the rest you need.

Pregnancy and sleeping

Women can have trouble sleeping during pregnancy for many reasons. The first trimester can bring insomnia and bouts of wakefulness. You may feel exhausted during the day so you sleep, which makes it even harder to sleep at night. The second trimester may be better for your sleep, but as the third trimester approaches your size makes it hard to get comfortable at night. The baby rests on your bladder and causes you the frequent need to urinate. There's heartburn, leg cramps, back aches, and a kicking baby. Insomnia may return at this time.
