If you are comfortable go ahead. The reason you are not "supposed to" is because the added weight compresses major blood vessels such as the aorta and vena cava. If you are compressing any of these vessels you will know it! and you will know it befor anything is done. When you start to become uncomfortable in these poitions then you you it is no longer feasible. There are a lot of things that others will tell you is ok or not, go with how YOU feel. The books can be useful guides but they tend to tell you EVERYTHING that could happen, not neccesarily what will happen
