Absentmindedly shook my bump - worried!

I was sitting and realised I was shaking my bump like the way you might absentmindedly shake loose fat. Now I am paranoid that I've hurt the baby! Have I?!

No you havent

Nowinapanic451 · 21/11/2021 20:34

It was with quite some force, though!

First baby? Just wait to second time round. My large toddler has jumped on me with significantly more force than you will have jiggled yourself - you’ll be absolutely fine.

I can't imagine you did it with much force! It would have hurt for a start.

girafferafferaffe · 21/11/2021 20:38

You're alright op, don't worry

You’ll be fine. As will the baby.

fancyfrogs · 21/11/2021 20:39

No, you haven't.

I fell down the stairs when pregnant with DD1. She is now a perfectly formed and very bright 7yo.

Your baby will be absolutely fine!

WoodburnersRUs · 21/11/2021 20:41

Definitely definitely not!

Hmm

Thank you all so much! Just what I needed to hear! Grin

I often shake my bump if I’m a little concerned that I haven’t felt him for a while and want to get him moving... I didn’t know this was an issue?

catinthehat12 · 21/11/2021 21:19

Lol @Jenhen89 I do that too, it’s no more than me running up and down the stairs!

Orarewedancer · 21/11/2021 21:23

I do that @Jenhen89. Third pregnancy and it still amazes me how careful I am with my bump, then go for a scan and the sonographer presses down and jiggles about with such force! They have women doing cartwheels (well, not quite) in the corridor to get baby moving etc. And of course the elbows and knees and feet of toddlers using bump as a bouncy castle. Baby will be fine, OP.

I was made to do star jumps at my last scan 😂 baby will be fine, don’t worry 😁

Orarewedancer · 21/11/2021 21:29

She had me lift my bum up off the bed and told me to "shake your hips back and forth as hard as you can"!

I had this too with DD2! Grin
