Answer #1

You cannot usually hurt the baby by squeezing… ok maybe a man could but he would have to do it a long time and very hard…most likely what would happen is the cord would get squashed stopping the blood/oxygen supply but he would have to hold on a long time and be lucky/unlucky enough to have got the cord. It is a slippery thing and would get moved out of the way most times.

You cannot squeeze the baby out either… it takes tremendous force… people have tried it as a means of abortion and usually the mother gets injured first.

Your baby is well protected and even a tumble down the stairs could be ok but dont try that… babies have been lost that way…it all depends how you fall and you will hurt yourself first long before the baby.

Best to discourage your brother…tell him you have the squits and its catching…he might keep away from you then !

Answer #2

absolutely no chance. the baby is very cushioned inside your body. please don’t worry, your baby is just fine =)
