I just found out yesterday that I'm PG. I've had 2 x MC in the past year and have been trying for 6 months when I got this BFP yesterday. I have a 4yo and she is often rough with me and jumps on me, and when she is on my lap or in bed with me will often throw her legs across me and get me in the belly. I've been telling her for months not to do this. This morning she hoped in bed and we watched cartoons and i've been tired so i was laying next to her with my eyes closed and she threw her leg across me and got me in the belly. Not hard enough that it hurt me but obviously made me jump and me instant response was that i yelled at her.
Could this harm the bubba or cause me to loose this PG?? I know bubba is buried down deep but still concerned now as this has been such a long road to this point and i was in a state of shock to finally see the BFP yesterday..
No, there's no way the baby could be affected by that aside from the fact that it's just too early, and that it's just so immensely small right now (and don't forget, everyone has layers of fat, muscle etc which distribute shock when impacted), bubs is closer to your public none than your belly button area at this point. I'm sure you'll be fine, try not to stress.
I was worried about my small dog jumping all over me when I was earlier on too but I was reassured by my doctor that it was well padded in there. I've now made it safely through to 12 weeks without any problems.
Our body has an amazing protect mechanism when it comes to our little ones.
Have a chat with your 4yr old about keeping the baby safe so she needs to be gentle with you. She should understand at this age. As the others said, her rough housing with you wont harm your baby but teaching her about gentle play now might help when the baby is born
Congratulations & lots of sticky vibes that you haave a happy & health next 9 months!
The baby is safe in there - at this stage the uterus is still snuggly tucked into the pelvic area and is quite thick in comparison to the tiny little dust sized speckling growing inside you!
That said, you'll want to encourage her to start being gentle as I'm sure it's uncomfortable and it's going to be a lot more uncomfortable once you start to get bigger. Hopefully once you tell her about the baby, she'll understand about being gentle and keeping the baby safe.
Toddler being rough and should i be concerned?
