How hard can you push around on your stomach while pregnant?
I am 30 weeks pregnant and I feel her in around parts of my stomach and the spots where my stomach is hardest I like to press sometimes to see if she will respond or something. I was wondering if that was hurting her or if it has the potential to. I don't know how hard I can or anything like that. A little advice please?

Its ok to poke and tap slightly but i wouldn’t push to hard even though the baby is protected in her amniotic fluid
No for you to press gently won’t hurt your unborn child. She’s protected by your amniotic fluid and by your growing uterus.
i did the same with both of my boys… is it a butt, oh its his hand or toes… their both fine…. i guess be more gentle if you think its the head/butt since they have soft spot but theres alot of padding and fluid between u and baby
you can tap lightly or poke a little, obviously don’t bang or punch/ hit your stomach. but a little poking is fine.
No my sons butt would get stuck underneth my ribs and i would slowely push him down, and he came out fine.
even though they are well cushioned with the amniotic sac, i still wouldn’t do it. my midwives and doctor presses up against my stomach so hard during my appointments – it hurts! even my baby girl doesn’t like it, sometimes afterward she’ll go crazy with movement.
