5 weeks, tummy sleeping ok?

I'm only 5 weeks, I haven't been to the doctor yet... few more weeks. Am I ok to sleep on my tummy? If yes, when is it not ok to sleep on my tummy? When it becomes uncomfortable and I start showing?

I would start working on side sleeping now since you wont be able to sleep on your stomach later on because It will be uncomfortable! I cant wait to sleep on my stomach again.  But if you are nursing i found i wasnt able to sleep on my stomach for a month or so after birth!

I'm 24 weeks and still occasionally tummy sleeping. It's fine. It won't hurt baby. It will make you more uncomfortabke than them.

Its never a good idea in my opinion but if been told sleeping on your left side gives more room for growing
