Brief Answer:
No reason to worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concerns about the massage.
Massage is not harmful and there is nothing to worry about it during pregnancy.
Massage with mild jerks on the abdomen is safe at this early pregnancy and there is no harm on baby due to this.
I don't see any reason to worry.

actually when the jerks happened I felt some movement inside I hope these jerks won't lead to detaching placenta or any other issue I just hope the baby is fine also what are normal symptoms of pregnancy at 17 weeks I am just tensed and maybe thinking too much
Brief Answer:
Baby movements can be felt
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Placental detachment or any other complication would not happen with such small jerks.
There are no specific symptoms at this stage except for baby movements. Baby movements can be begginning to feel any time from now to 20 weeks. That is only major symptom.
