I felt a foot, a hand his head when I touched my belly, is it serious?

Hello, I am 30 weeks pregnant, I was tapping my belly with small pressure to make the baby move and I touched one of his limbs. Is this serious? Is there a risk that I could deform it or something?

Hello ma'am, this is very common and does not indicate a problem :)

As long as there has not been a significant shock, the baby usually remains protected.
