Very dumb question but i just need someone to answer! i just pinched my stomach with tweezers & i'm 32 weeks pregnant! didn't hurt my baby right??

No harm to baby: It is very unlikely that you could reach your baby using tweezers on the abdomen. The abdominal wall and then the uterine wall are just too thick. You'd be more likely to cause a break in the skin of the abdomen and have a small laceration.

Unlikely: I am assuming this was superficial (impacting the skin). As previously stated there is a fair amount of tissue between your outer body and the baby.

No harm: What you did is very unlikely to have even touched the baby, let alone do any harm. Wish you good health and a healthy baby!
