Fear of squishing the baby?

Anonymous
I am 31 weeks and every time I bend over I feel like I'm squishing the baby and damaging something. Is this an irrational fear? My mom keeps saying they are really well insulated in there and don't worry.

I worry about this too, and I have a toddler at home who wants to be picked up and held a lot and I indulge her often...My take is woman have been doing hard labor, carrying babies, lifting, etc from beginning of time...but still - worries me too

totally irrational and totally normal. You can't squish baby and my doctor told me that it was OK to pick up my 35 pound toddler. DS was born without complications.
