Q: Did I Hurt Her?

Ok I was trying to open something and I couldnt get it to open so I took a fork and stuck it through and pulled hard, but I didnt expect it to rip like that and I hit myself in the stomach... Im worried that I hurt my baby, it didnt hurt me, but I felt her when I hit myself... Like she was sticking something out when I did it and I hit whatever she was sticking out. I feel really bad. Im not having any pains or anything, but it woke her up and she kept shoving her foot or something under my rib...I didnt hit myself hard enough to hurt myself, but is it possible that I hurt her? Or is the sac thingy protecting her from bumps like that?

Dont worry ive done lil things like that myself ur lil girl is safe and protected by her sac. Im sure she felt a lil something but if it didnt hurt u then I dont think it would hurt her. ~ erica.

Well I am not an expert, but I would say that she is most likely fine b/c you didn't hurt yourself. But get it checked out anyway if you can. I say that b/c I was thinking about how many bones I have broken. And I once broke three bones in my foot without feeling it at all, so you never know. But she is probably fine.

I wouldn't worry there is alot of padding believe it or not to protect baby from that... It would take alot more than that to do something to baby.

Hey

They are correct. If it didn't hurt you it didn't hurt her! She has a whole lot of protection in there!
