Dog stepped on stomach - would you freak?

slc2b · November 2009

My 60lb lab got a little too excited this morning and stepped right on my stomach, only for about a fraction of a second before I screamed for him to get the eff off me. I don't have any cramping or bleeding or anything but can still kinda feel where his paw was. Would you worry? I did already email the np to see what she has to say...

I wouldnt stress too much, it was probably only one paw (right?), so not all 60 pounds, plus, at 7 weeks the baby is tucked down WAY in your pelvic bone. I know it is hard to not stress though, but the babe is super cushioned way inside of there!

The baby is safe deep down near your pelvic bone.

I wouldn't stress too much, just try to avoid it happening again. My dog is 125 lbs and I worry about her jumping on my stomach and I also worry about her knocking me down when we are playing. Not that it was ever okay for her to step on my stomach (she weighs more than me), but I have been super careful around her since my bfp.

Your baby is protected very well in there. My dog does this frequently, as does my 20 pound son.

Thanks ladies! Yeah I figure at this stage the little babe is tucked way under and is protected from that kind of stuff, but thought I would see what you all thought. No more doggies on the bed I am afraid, they will be so sad!

I wouldn't worry. The baby is so tiny & tucked away at this point there is no way it could have done damage.

Baby has a lot of cushion - don't worry. I get upset with my dog too - she tries to jump on me and if I am not fast enough I get a foot to the stomach. It aches in that spot sometimes (for like 5 minutes only)... but all is well with my little one. Don't worry too much - I am sure everything is fine.

I had my 20lb dog jump down on my tummy @ about 5weeks & I totally freaked out, especially since I was a little sore afterwards. However, it turned out just fine & I'm into 2nd tri already. Like pp's said, baby is nice & safe in there, don't fret

Don't worry! My 80lb Doberman puppy does this all the time! I'm pretty cautious, but sometimes he catches me when I'm not paying attention. He loves to be a lap dog, believe it or not! : )

my dog does it almost everyday -- i just called my hubs at work & told him we need to stop our dog from jumping up on the bed...ever since pregnancy, she wants to crawl up on top of me & sleep -- even on the couch or a chair! its weird & cute but she is 65-70 lbs & looks small, but is all muscle .. i cant handle it anymore!!

im not worried at all but i know this needs to stop !
