when to roll over...

Im only a few weeks. Not showing yet. One of the only ways i can fall asleep is on my tummy. I know once i start showing and the baby gets bigger i wont be able to do that. When should i stop sleeping on my belly and how can i knock thr habbit before i get bigger??

The body pillow works beyond wonders, especially when you get big ! But I'm the meantime, don't stress about sleeping positions. You can sleep on your tummy as long as it's comfortable ! Your baby will let you know if they don't like it (: I'm 39 weeks and if I lean on my tummy too much, he'll push out on where I'm lying and I move for him (: What you don't want to do is sleep on your back, because it cuts blood flow to the uterus ! Don't worry about your tummy

Just try sleeping on your side with your hand under your belly. I usually can't sleep unless I'm on my belly but I started doing that and sleep great.
