Q: im 38 weeks if i bent down or try to get up can i squash my babys body or head?

Pregnancy &amp; activity: No. bending down and getting up will not harm your baby. Exercise is very helpful in pregnancy. I have had women in their 8th month do triathalons and run marathons. Before starting any exercise program while pregnant, be sure to discuss with your OB
