How do you help a pregnant woman from choking?

[ChicoFromThe305]

can't do the Heimlich for obvious reasons so how do you even deal with this, karate chop her back? Put her upside down somehow? Maybe a lot of water 🤔

I think that it would depend on what she's choking on.

I've had 4 choking incidents happen to me. Each I was choking on either white rice or Chinese frid rice.

Although I wasn't pregnant at the time, I was clearing choking and couldn't breathe.
My boyfriend's ran into the bathroom and grabbed his toothbrush 🪥 and stuck the end where you hold it, down my throat and broke it up and saved my life.

One of those life threatening ones, I don't know how to say it lol

you bend them over slightly and you hit them on the upper back with the palm of your hand. betwen the shoulder blade and the spine with an upward motion.

I see, hopefully it's enough lol

Heimlich is not on the belly it's under the rib cage, it wouldn't even affect her baby.

It sure would, not even medical professionals recommend it lol
