So the stomping will not affect baby?
Brief Answer:
No harm to baby . Take care.
Detailed Answer:
Hi there, thanks for the appreciation and reverting back.
As skin of the foot is thicker than other body parts , there is no issue of any worry. Also, as there is no risk of sting or bite , there is definitely no harm to you or your baby.
I hope this cleats the fear in your mind.
Henceforth take care.
Enjoy your pregnancy.
May God bless you with a bundle of XXXXXXX

Thanks, though my concern was not about the insect bite, it was about the pressure that stomping created on the womb, I was not bitten by the insect .
Brief Answer:
baby size is small so no issue of pressure . Don't worry.
Detailed Answer:
Hi there, thanks for reverting back.
I have understood your concern.
Actually at such early weeks of pregnancy, baby is very small in size. The womb is not much enlarged. So you need not worry about the pressure on the womb.
I want to assure you that baby is not at risk. Please. Relax.
Thanks.
