Nope, thats an old wives tale. You did not/will not give your baby brain damage.

Thats an old wives tale!!! Thats just like saying that you will strangle your unborn child if you lift your hands above your head.
Why do people still believe in this stuff? It doesnt even make sense LMAO!!!
I bent over plenty of times in my pregancy to clean and such, and my daughter came out fine. Actually she is very advanced.
Just becuase you are pregnant doesnt make you a walking china doll, and your baby is a lot tougher than you think. As long as you dont do anything drastic, like slip and fall hard on the ice or something you will be fine.
Chill and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy! And may you be blessed with a speedy labor!!!

That's crazy. I was exercising into my ninth month, doing all kinds of stretches that involved all kinds of bending, and would tie my own shoes through my whole pregnancy. For some women it's uncomfortable but if it isn't it won't cause any harm.

Please keep in mind that women were BUILT for child bearing. I work in a hospital setting and women have come into the ER after being in head on collisions and the baby survives just fine. The baby is very well protected in an amniotic sac filled with fluid, on top of that are the muscles of your belly and on top of that, a nice thick layer of fat...the baby is fine.

That's hogwash! Bending will not harm your baby. The baby is enclosed in a bed of fluid (your bag of water) that protects it from day to day bumps. Bending down will not harm your baby! The only thing it will do is make you uncomfortable!

That's bullshit. Don't listen to people when they tell you stupid crap like that. The only thing you have to worry about is the umbilical cord, and that's more about lifting your arms and picking stuff up. Bending over isn't going to do any harm to the baby. There's pleny of cushion for them in there.
