16 month old stepped on my pregnant stomach

Has anyone else had their toddler step on your pregnant belly with pretty much full force? I’m currently 20 weeks and I was laying down and my son ran up and stepped/stomped onto my stomach with one foot. I still feel my baby moving and haven’t had any cramping or pain yet, am still left feeling unknowing on what to do.

I would recommend calling your ob and telling them about the incident they may want to bring you in to do a further examination

A bid dog ran and hopped up at my mom's pregnant stomach with forse. It was all ok. Your baby is inside a water balloon and probably just woke him up. But to be less worried, make an appointment.

My 20 month old does it all the time. My belly has been protecting him ❤️ of course it's not ideal. Im 37 weeks now. I wouldn't worry but you should call the Dr if you feel you need extra reassurance!!

My toddler was 14 months when I was 26 weeks pregnant and would always hit my belly or one time she sat on me while I was napping and I was so worried. I told my OB and she said that the baby was in a water balloon to not worry and that a 1 year old doesn’t know any better to be patient with her and not get mad and just be careful

I have 3 cats and they frequently jump on my stomach off and on the bed, while sleeping so I now that I'm pregnant I am keeping them out of bedroom at night as I worry about something going wrong eventually from these jumps. From my research I think it's best to let DR know if it was particularly strong jump/kick etc.

Also have y'all felt how hard the ultrasound techs can push to find your baby?!? WUFF You're gooood
Another thing - I was a wrestler in college and one girl got pregnant and continued to wrestle until her 2nd trimester and her kid was fine. Would I do that? No. But it is a thing that happened

Anyone else up feeding their Bebe?

As above. Trying so hard to keep my eyes open

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
