No, don't take any risks.
I wouldn't try to put any pressure on my stomach intentional. Especially leaning against the counter to put makeup on, isn't there another way you can look in the mirror without resting on it? Also you need to teach the puppy not to be jumping on you and break the bad habits now before the baby is born. Would you want the puppy jumping on the New Born baby?? (((I hope not!!)))
It is perfectly ok to put pressure on your stomach, even during the early months, as long as you are not uncomfortable. Your baby is protected by the best shock absorption system known to mankind--it takes a LOT of pressure, or a very hard sharp blow, to affect them!
More than likely, within a few weeks you will no longer be comfortable leaning against the counter, and it will be a little painful when your dog jumps up on you. This isn't hurting your baby, it's just that your uterus and stomach are stretching out and becoming sensitive. In fact, there's always a few weeks in early pregnancy when I can't even stand an elastic waistband across my stomach--it's just too sensitive.
In general, if it doesn't hurt you, it's not hurting your baby. Leaning against the counter, lying on your stomach, or having your puppy sleeping on your stomach might become uncomfortable for you soon, but it will not hurt your baby.
Congratulations and Good luck!!
Your baby is cushioned away pretty nicely in there, unless you have a condition that you did not disclose, the child will be safe.
I have 6 children and let me tell you when you have a big belly and you have 2 babes in arms, there is a lot of pressure and the babies have all come out alright. :)
aww congratulations! I had the same thing with my dogs, as soon as I found out I was pregnant. The two little dogs loved to put their heads and sleep on my stomach, they never did this before. I think they know. Anyways, anytime I ever put a lot of pressure on my stomach/uterus. I started spotting. Your cervix is carrying a lot of blood, more than normal and it can get irritated really easily. Just take it easy. I'm sure the dogs laying on you is okay as long as it isn't a huge dog. Good luck and I'm so happy for you guys!
