    Yes. Sleeping on your stomach until your due date won't cause any harm to your baby. However, you are likely to find it quite uncomfortable as you get larger.

    Yes, I'm 35 weeks and I still sleep on my stomach every night. It did get uncomfortable around 24 weeks and I had to stop but she turned transverse and it's become comfortable so I've been able to lay on my belly.

    yes, of coarse, You can Sleep on your belly until You physically cant anymore.

    I personally asked my doctor this because i too sleep on my belly most of the time.

    It will eventually get to where you Cant possibly even lay on your belly. But until then you are fine.

    Yes, The baby will be safe at that time. Once, You start showing, I would suggest sleeping on your back.

    yeh until you cant anymore.. and dont sleep on your back. it compresses the vena cava and can hurt the baby. i slept on my side and had one of my legs hiked up. it was very comfy :)
