Is pushing on your belly at 22 weeks bad for the baby?

Emily

Hey everyone! I’m 22 weeks exactly today. This is my first baby and i’m 19. I gently push on my belly when i feel her kick and moving around to hopefully catch her on camera. Is this a bad thing to do? Can it affect the baby? My mom seems to think it’s bad but I want to get an answer and see what everyone thinks!
