A member asked:

Reaching for something and stretching my stomach, can stretching abdomen harm the baby in second trimester?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should be fine,: not likely to cause placental issues. Sharp blows to the abdomen/uterus are more likely to cause placental damage. But we always suggest discussing your case/care/concerns with your doctor as they know your specifics.
