Exactly what the ladies said, until It's uncomfortable for you. I somewhat lay on my stomach still, like I'm on my side leaning more towards my stomach and I'm 27+2.

I'm 28+3 and still sleeping on stomach! Dr says it's ok til it is no longer comfortable. They say you shouldn't sleep on your back because it cuts off oxygen and blood flow to baby.

Try and avoid it if you can. You'll know when you need to switch to your side because you'll feel too uncomfy on your front. Avoid laying on your back from about 14 weeks as there extra pressure isn't good for your back.
