Yesterday someone scared me badly from behind as a joke and my heart was racing for so long. Im in first trimester and now i cant stop thinking if that kind of sudden shock can harm the baby. Probably overthinking but anyone else felt this?
Try to keep your mind calm and surroundings peaceful, it helps both you and baby. A small shock passes. Stay positive and take gentle care of yourself.
A normal startle is fine, but if you had a fall, a hard blow to the belly, or notice bleeding or reduced movement, please contact your gynac immediately. Dont wait it out in that case. For just a fright, try to relax.
Beta, a sudden fright now and then is normal, your baby is safe and protected inside. Just try to keep your surroundings calm and rest. If you ever feel persistent pain or less movement, then call the doctor.
I jumped at a loud noise once and convinced myself I'd harmed the baby, total spiral. My gynac reassured me the baby is well cushioned and a normal startle doesnt hurt it. Please dont torture yourself over a small shock.
