A member asked:
Can wearing tight pants while pregnant hurt the baby? my pants and shorts leave marks under my tummy my clothes are getting tight am i harming baby?

Probably not: The clothes would need to be uncomfortably tight before any risk of hurting the baby, meaning you would not be able to tolerate wearing them. Try to wear clothes that are stretchy as your baby belly grows.

No: You do not need to worry about the baby. The baby is protected by your abdominal muscles and the uterus muscle. The baby is inside the uterus and is protected by the thick walls of the uterus. Do not worry about your clothes
