Burned belly while cooking.

Hot water splashed on my stomach right where the baby is while cooking. I am 22 weeks. It left a thumb length red mark. I feel like there is no way for the baby to be affected by this, but I am still slightly concerned. Any thoughts?

  • The baby is shielded behind skin, fat, muscle, the uterus and the amniotic fluid...so no worries! Baby didn't feel a thing except you jump! =)

  • don't worry your baby will be fine. first you jave all your skins layers to protect your baby. also the baby is surronded by amniotic fluids that work very well to protect your baby. hope this helps.

  • agreed with everyone..I just recently did the same thing and worried just like you did. I had to ask the question also. IN the back of my mine I knew the baby was fine, but when it happens we can't help but worry.
