Silly question i'm 22 weeks pregnant and last night while laying down on my back i was stretching side to side during my sleep could this hurt my baby ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Baby is slumbering in a bag of fluid that buffers any vibrations/trauma that your body may experience.I wouldn't loose any sleep over such movements.
