Does pushing externally on your uterus harm the fetus

[CraftyZebra]

Hi,
just wondering if you push on your uterus, like if you’re having pain and you go to put a bit of pressure on the area, does that harm the fetus towards the end of the first trimester?

thanks

No, have you had the first scan yet? they push so hard! Made me much more relaxed about my toddler and my bump 😅

No it would take a considerable amount of force to cause damage to a foetus especially at that gestation as they are tiny and cushioned by lots of fluid.

I was attacked by a patient at 24 weeks pregnant and repeatedly kicked and hit on my bump. I was immediately scanned afterwards and my DD looked like she was sucking her thumb in there and was totally fine.
