Iis it safe to sleep on my tummy at 8 weeks preg?

Yes: At that gestational age, the uterus is below the brim of the pelvis, and is protected. When you start showing is a good sign that you should stop sleeping on your tummy.

Yes!: The main thing to do at 8 weeks is to take 1-5 mg of Folic Acid daily. Sleeping position is not important - it is fine to sleep on your tummy if you prefer.
