will bb kicks damage my placenta or other organs? it feels very strong

2y ago

No, baby kicks will not damage your placenta or other organs. Baby kicks are a normal and expected part of pregnancy. The baby is safely protected within the amniotic sac, and their movements are limited by the surrounding amniotic fluid and the space available in the uterus. As your pregnancy progresses and the baby grows, you might feel stronger kicks and movements. While these movements might occasionally feel uncomfortable, they are generally not harmful to you or your baby.
