Answer 1

no, you can sleep on your side, I know it is uncomforable , use pilliows like I do, or get you a maternity pillow. good luck

Answer 2

I definitely wouldn't sleep on your belly for obvious reasons. You're still ok to sleep on your back, but not for long. In about another month or so, you should only be sleeping on your side. By about 6 months pregnant your uterus is very heavy and could prevent oxygen from getting to your baby if you laid on your back for a long amount of time. Be pro-active and start sleeping on your side with a lot of pillows! Good luck!
