Yes, you can.
I stopped sleeping on my stomach at 16 weeks because it started to feel uncomfortable for me at that point.

Nikki, whoever they is is full of ****. My doctor, OB, mother who birthed 4 healthy children,  and every other woman I know all say that once sleeping on your stomach is uncomfortable, it's time to stop sleeping on your stomach. "They" pff. My group of theys is clearly more qualified than yours.
/hormones hittin me hard rn hahaha sorry I'm being mean but I have no patience for that shiet.

Oh yeah, definitely fine ! (: I had to during mine to help my nausea settle down overnight. I'm 28 weeks as of today and haven't been able to even lay on my stomach for more than a minute or two until my little girl actually STRETCHES to push me up :p she's small but mighty!

Yup. It's safe. When baby gets bigger, you'll feel kicks telling you to move to a different position lol.

You will be okay. I'm 26 weeks and still sleep on my tummy every once in awhile. Its the only way I can get comfy. Don't worry :)

You should be fine. As long as you don't feel uncomfortable. I'm 20 weeks and stop sleeping on my stomach at 17 weeks
