Does it affect my fetus if the doctor presses my abdomen like this?

Patient's question:

Hello:
I am 15 weeks pregnant. During a normal check-up at the hospital, the doctor had me lie down, bend my legs, and relax. She then forcefully pressed on my abdomen, which was quite painful. I didn’t know what she was checking for. One of my colleagues had a miscarriage shortly after a similar check-up at the hospital, and I’m very worried. Does applying pressure to my abdomen like this affect my fetus? Could I miscarry? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, pressing hard on the fetal head during prenatal examinations will not injure the fetal head because the fetus is cushioned by amniotic fluid and will not be harmed.
