Whilst away I had cramps and had to see the obstetrician I am 26 weeks pregnant. The midwife before did the doppler and was pressing very hard down on where baby is to find the heartbeat, I am quite a petite person but she said baby was moving and couldn’t find the heartbeat. I’ve never had a midwife press so hard I even had bruising and soreness for quite a few days after, I’m really worried she could have hurt the baby by pressing down so hard. Has anyone else experienced this?

Babies are so well insulated it's very unlikely she did any damage

This won’t have hurt the baby and it sounds like it was more than a few days ago now anyway
