A member asked:
Is there fact to too much rubbing belly in first trimester cause increased body temperature that may provoke miscarriage or preterm labor? doc said so
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Rubbing the belly surface won't increase one's body temperature inside. The skin may get a little warmer where one rubs. Nothing unusual happens to the baby, because the baby is inside, at a stable temperature. So, if any baby problems arise, they are not due to rubbing the belly surface.
