2ww -- will my toddler hurt me?

[Chocolateismyvice]

I feel so daft asking this but I'm curious 🙈

I currently have an 18 month old DS who is big, strong and bouncy! When I put him down for a nap, we lay on my bed. He can get quite restless and kinda shove me in the stomach. He's not doing it to be naughty, he's just wriggly and using me to shove himself up the bed. It's hard to describe. I also end up getting booted as hes so bloody fidgety. Anyway, I'm currently in the 2ww and due to test later this week.

I'm now worried that all the jolts and shoving will somehow impact on implantation or cause a miscarriage or something! Probably being silly but please put my mind at rest.

Will DS do any 'damage' if he accidentally kicks my lower belly or something??

@Chocolateismyvice I'm exactly in the same boat as you. My son who is nearly 4, is very strong and quite rough in some ways. I guess if you was pregnant then try and tell him earlier on to be very careful around tummy etc that's what I plan on doing as my son will just jump on me and elbow me when he's getting comfy sat on me ( not intentionally )

When I was 20 weeks with my little girl. My 2 year old nephew who is severely autistic used to spend 5 days a week with me while his mum worked. He used to have meltdowns and would kick my stomach bite my stomach hit me shove me kick me over and over and I had to restrain him while in full meltdown on a few occasions due to hit hurting himself and my baby wasn't affected at all. There's mother's out there who have been pregnant and survived bombs going off and a lot worse. If you are worried go get checked but baby is very well protected in there xx

I'm also currently pregnant and have a boisterous 19 month old

From what I've read, it sounds like your baby should be very well protected in there, and you'd have to suffer a serious injury (i.e. one that would have landed you in hospital anyway) to risk damaging them.
