A member asked:
I am 26 weeks pregnant, can bending over my belly for a long period of time squish or harm the baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Baby well cushioned: The baby is actually quite well-cushioned and bending over should not harm the baby as long as you are feeling ok. In the animal kingdom, pregnant ones are more often on 4-paws than erect like human. So, as long as you feel ok and in good health, baby should be fine. Congrats on the pregnancy and good luck.
