Summary

You're not alone if you've ever worried about your baby's safety while performing everyday movements. Pregnancy is a time filled with questions and concerns; sometimes, the most minor actions can lead to big worries.

Thankfully, your baby is very safe and protected by the amniotic sac and your uterus during pregnancy. However, the physical changes that occur during pregnancy can make you more prone to injury.
