Sometimes while sleeping or bending i accidentally put pressure on my pet and immediately panic ki kahi baby ko kuch ho na jaye. Im in first tri. Is little pressure okay or do i need to be super careful? Bit paranoid honestly.
Oh my god, please don't press it! I used to panic even if my laptop rested on my stomach. Just rub it very lightly with oil or cream, anything more than that makes me so anxious.
My doctor strictly told me that mild stroking or gently rubbing the belly is perfectly fine and actually helps bond with the baby. But pressing hard is a big no-no because the uterus is sensitive and it can cause discomfort or unnecessary pressure.
Avoid pressing your stomach at all. During my regular doctor visits for thyroid monitoring, my doctor always handled the belly exams very specifically, so leave any pressing to the experts.
You can apply some warm coconut oil and gently massage in circular motions with light fingers. But never apply pressure on your womb, and if you ever feel sharp pain, call your doctor immediately.
Gently caressing your stomach is completely safe, but pressing it firmly should definitely be avoided. If you ever feel any pain or have accidental pressure, it's best to consult your obstetrician for reassurance.
