Can This Kill/hurt My Baby
Posted: 08-30-04 09:39am

I used to only sleep on my tummy so now I go out of my way to fall asleep on my back or side but I often wake up in the middle of the night on or close to my tummy... Can it hurt the baby

Probably not. By the time the baby is big enough to be hurt by it, you won't physically be able to sleep on your stomach. Even if you accidentally rolled over on your stomach, it would hurt you and you'd wake up.

No, because your baby is inside you, therefore you are not actually laying on it.
The most important thing is to sleep in a position that is comfortable and natural so that you get a good nights sleep.
