Child sat on my pregnant tummy

[lilspark]

I'm 22 weeks and my 5 year old out of nowhere just sat on my tummy and put most of his weight on. I immediately slid him off so it was only for a few seconds. It felt uncomfortable at the time of him sitting like a heavy pressure from the weight but I feel fine since he got off. Baby is moving...should I be worried?

No, you'll be fine.
The baby is protected in the uterus and floating in water.

You’ll be absolutely fine. Your body is amazing at protecting your growing baby.

when I was 6 months pregnant a door closed on my belly (a door that should have closed gently but slammed into my belly in a sudden gust (downdraft from tall buildings)). I went to the maternity unit and they were so kind, they to,d me I didn’t need to go in, it would be fine, but to calm me they let me go in and have a trace done. All was fine. The midwife team is well used to questions like these and assuaging fears.

My daughter put her hand on my stomach and pushed all her weight on it when I was about 20 weeks and it felt so weird, but all ok!

Please don't worry you will be totally fine. Your body is literally designed for this sort of thing.

Thank you ladies! You sure put me at ease xx

My 2 year old misjudged a jump off the arm of couch and landed with both feet on bump. All was fine. I worried but our bodies are amazing!
