No: are you 15 weeks along if so it is no problem Your body will be uncomfortable if you lay on your stomach as the months go on. Probably at 8 to 9 months it is hard and causes you discomfort so you wouldn't stay on your stomach but it is ok to lay on your stomach

Very early: At 15 weeks the baby is very small and well protected in your uterus. Positions for sleep are not going to have any effect. As you get further along your belly will grow making this an uncomfortable way to sleep
