A few days before my period I pressed on my belly and shook it hard, now I know I'm pregnant and am worried that I harmed my baby!

Really? That's not how you tell your pregnant... have you taken a test yet? Where exactly did you hear you could tell that way? I'd recommend NOT taking any more advice from wherever or whomever you got that from.

Your baby is protected in a bubble of fluid. Women have fallen and landed on their 9 month pregnant bellies without harming the baby (not advisable, but it has happened).

There's very little chance that you harmed your "baby" by shaking your belly.

And even if she is.. at less than a month its not even the size of a PEA yet. Can she feel all the corn she ate in her intestines too?

Smoothy, she didn't diagnose pregnancy by shaking her belly. She's worried because she shook her belly before she found out she was pregnant. Now that she knows that she's pregnant she's wondering if shaking her belly harmed the baby.

Rest assured. You did not harm your baby. Your baby right now is smaller than your fingernail and is protected by your uterus and amniotic fluid.

The comment of a "few days before my period" is what stands out and makes it sound like that. What percentage of pregnant women have periods or "false periods"?
