Did i give my baby shaken baby syndrome??

I am 17 weeks pregnant and i have not felt the baby move yet. Because i was goofing around i shaked my belly around a couple of times like a beer belly joke....however on the ultrasound i didnt know it was so big and stuff. Can you give your baby shaken baby syndrome before its born. Please dont guess im stressed out enough about it.

    17 weeks isn't too early to have not felt your baby yet. some woman dont feel it until 20 weeks.

    the first time i felt my baby i was 17w6d and i would only feel her like once a night...a kick it felt like.

    im 19w5d now and i feel her more, a few times a day, kicks and what not. but i dont feel it a whole lot yet even.

    no you cant give your baby shaken baby syndrome in the womb, your baby is use to being shaken around in there, you toss and turn in your sleep you walk they get tossed more then you think, its perfectly fine, and the baby not moving at 17 weeks is fine. Also the ultrasound kinda makes the baby look a little bigger then what it is trust me the baby is fine, I shook mine all around in there. Even when your about to have the baby you can lay on a birthing ball which knocks them around, or they tell you to have sex which also knocks the little thing around. its ok everything will be fine... Peace. Of Mind.

    No hunnie, you didn't hurt the baby by shaking your tummy...your little one is well protected. If you're concerned that you haven't felt any movement, I'd call your Dr. they'll fun the ultrasound to make sure that everything's ok. Good luck!

    I didn't feel my first baby move until 21 weeks. My sister in aw didn't feel her first baby move until 26 weeks because her placenta was anterior (in front) and it was in the way.

    Your baby is fine. A little belly jiggling won't hurt it.

    No, you can't. If you are worried go to the doctor so they can check the baby. Your baby is protected by your uterus and a whole bunch of amniotic fluid.

    you insides are built to protect your baby. your baby is protected by layers of fat and then by the fluid it is floating in...I think you shouldnt worry. Everything will be alright!

    Your baby has tons of fluids and stuff cushioning it, its fine. If your still worried you could call and ask your doctor.

    Congrats :)
