Laser pointer on belly?

Someone had told me that using a flashlight on your belly will make the baby move.I didn't have a flashlight but I have an almost dead laser pointer. I used it on my belly quickly and the baby moved. I was just wondering if it's safe to do this. I didn't think about it until way later.

    Yes I have heard this too. But it only works closer to your due date when babies eyes are fully developed. Right now they aren't developed enough to see that.

    I'm sure your baby will be fine. I just wouldn't do it again.

    ETA: I'm sure your baby will be fine after this one time.

    The flashlight, and ice packs etc, usually just work later on, when their skin is much closer to your stretched skin!

    I read that the baby can start being responsive to light as early as 18 weeks. They recommended using a flashlight.
