Question 1

Question 2

is ok to lay on my belly if im 12weeks pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Sure: Sure, as long as it's comfortable for you.  As you progress in your pregnancy, it will be important to start lying on your side or back, because lying on your stomach in the 2nd or 3rd trimester can decrease blood flow (via the placenta) to the baby.
