A member asked:

Know how long before it is no longer safe to sleep on my stomach if pregnant?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Comfort level: Eventually you will feel uncomfortable due to pain or breathing difficulty . In general , this will occur between the 16th and 20th week (in a singleton pregnancy).
