Cat jumped on pregnant stomach

I am 20 weeks. I fell asleep on our recliner chair so I was essentially positioned on my back. My cat jumped from the top of the chair onto my stomach while I was sleeping. At first I was not too freaked out because it was closer to my hip and didn’t seem like the jump was near the baby. A minute later i was rubbing my stomach and he pounced on the blanket exactly where my hand was directly over my baby. This one freaked me out. I felt her moving like crazy right after this happened. I think I still feel her moving a little bit but can’t tell because my heart is pounding. I can definitely still feel the spot where he jumped but i don’t know if I’m just overly-fixated on trying to feel if it hurts or not. The cat is about 12 pounds. I am really freaked out. Has anyone had this happen and been fine?

My cat used to jump on my stomach all the time, the dog did it once by accident bless him and he’s 35kg of chunk. Baby was absolutely fine - they are very well protected in there, think babies have survived car crashes when in utero - however, if you are worried then go get checked. Live with the idea better safe then sorry xx

My cat was 12lbs and he use to lay on my stomach and it would def stress me out. He would make biscuits and one time he was doing zoomies and bounces off my stomach and I was soooo upset but my daughter is perfect ok. I went and got it checked out to be on the safe side. I was already dealing with a clot on my cervix at the time.

Baby is so well protected in there, your bodies designed for things like this. You know best though and know one knows that baby like you, even if it’s just for peace of mind the hospital will understand you going in to get everything checked out x

My 24lb 2 year old regularly (accidentally) jumped on my pregnant belly. The first time I went to get checked out just in case and they said baby was fine as they were so well protected and cushioned in there. Baby is now a happy and healthy 3 month old xx

aww bless you! your baby is very protected by the amniotic sac, you should be fine 🫶🏽

My then 1 and 2 year olds (separately each weighing almost double your cat) jumped on my stomach a handful of times. I was concerned cuz I tend to worry, but baby is healthy and turning 1 next month.

When in doubt, go to the doctor. That being said, my 35 lb toddler jumped on my stomach when I was side sleeping. I think I was 16ish weeks. I think you are in the clear, but get checked just in case.

My toddler rests on my belly lol I think you’re okay 🤍

Your baby will be fine. My toddler jumped all over me when I was pregnant

I hear of people saying their toddlers jump on their bellies and all is ok. Though, I'd still go to doc just because I am paranoid and it's better to be safe! 💪🏻
