Hi,

Welcome to healthcare magic. I have read your question.

I would like to reply as below:

1) Mastrubation better to avoid as it is likely to elicit uterine contractions and preterm labour.

2) It wont harm fetus in uterus as such.

If you have any further queries, let me know so that I can help you much better.

Wish you good health.
