Sleeping on Belly

Its been so long since I had my last baby (7 years actually), so there are a lot of things I don't remember. One is when should we no longer sleep on our belly. This is my favorite position, and I know that eventually its not a good way to sleep for the baby. So do any of you ladies have any idea when I should stop this bad habit?

i was wondering the same thing and i ve just read in my day by day book that it s fine to sleep on your belly as far into the pregnancy as it is comfortable and that theres plenty of amniotic fluid cushioning the baby I love sleeping on my belly and I m over 13 weeks now and its still comfy. I think once I start getting a bump it might not be..
Later on the left side is the best for circulation etc

With this pregnancy I can still sleep on my stomach at 9 weeks but with my first 2 I had to give it up pretty quick because it wasn't comfortable for some reason.  I think it just depends on when you feel it is uncomfortable.  I haven't ever heard of a specific time when it isn't good anymore.  I have heard that after a certain point you shouldn't sleep on your back and should try to lay on your left side.  Sorry I don't have a great answer!
