Can shaking my belly hurt the baby?
I know how dumb this sounds, but often times I find my self shaking my belly up and down or side to side to get my baby to move. I’m 29W2D and I’ve been doing this for quite some time now. I don’t shake violently or anything but I wouldn’t say I shake gently either. I get so eager to feel her move and when she isn’t moving I get worried and I shake my belly an awful lot, and it just occurred to me today that maybe this isn’t the best idea.
Is this safe? Can it hurt her? Especially with how frequently I do it.
I know this might be the dumbest question in the world but please bear with me, I’m a FTM.
