Jumping in first trimester

[Anxiousanxious]

Let me just preface this with the fact that my first pregnancy ended in complications for my first child which will effect him all his life, so I'm starting from a place of high anxiety.

I'm only just pregnant so about four weeks. Went to a park with little one and was modelling playing to my child. Stupidly jumped off something about the height of a park bench if you count the back. I'm now freaking out about damage to the baby and my anxiety is skyrocketing.
Please can anyone give me advice. Am I worrying for no reason or not?

Jumping isn't going to hurt your baby.

Worrying for no reason. The embryo is attached and well protected.

Thank you. I think I'm going to really struggle with this pregnancy, as I was anxious enough in my other pregnancy but had no reason to assume it would go wrong. Now I have experienced those fears can turn into reality it's hard to know what is a legitimate concern and what's an unnecessary worry.

I thought this thread was going to be about feeling the baby jumping as early as the first trimester - I was intrigued haha.

Pretty sure jumping can't harm your baby. They're very well-cushioned.

Erm Iv been flip out trampolining last week and I'm 20 weeks pregnant.. still living my life.

😮You should definitely not be trampolining @20viona !

Baby is well protected op

I think it's more that you shouldn't do vigorous exercise that has a risk of falling - hence why trampolining probably isn't recommended. The jumping motion itself isn't harmful, just the risk of falling.

@piglet81 I was with my 2 year old so hardly doing backflips but just nice to have a little bounce.

You need to contact the midwifery team and ask for a referral to maternal mental service. I used after the birth of my first and during my second pregnancy and I found they so helpful and not judgemental.

It's fine. I did 30 day shred throughout my pregnancy which contains star jumps, butt kicks, jump rope. Exercise is recommended. The only thing I cut out of my routine (on recommendation of my kettlebell instructor) was kettlebell swings.

I'm struggling too really bad, can't stop worrying about everything from what I eat to things like painting my nails ! I'm going to be referred to the perinatal mental health and think it's for the best. We shouldn't be worrying like this and enjoying it instead
