Answers:
koji, the Heimlich works on the pregnant and obese, too!. You have to be more specific about positioning your closed fist and use more force to apply adequate pressure to the diaphragm to force the choking object out of the windpipe!. The baby's well protected even if you press hard on the uterus, so don't worry about that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Tilt her over a chair and slap her back with the palm of your hand in an upright sliding motion!. It is important that you do it quite firmly a number of times!. I am sure you could find a link that shows you how to do it!.!. You tube maybe!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
by the time i submit this, it might be too late
i would recommend pulling your "foreign object" out, till she catches her breathWww@Answer-Health@Com

The same as a person who not not obese or pregnant!. If they pass out, start chest compressions!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
um i agree with the 911 comment, you perform the heimlich above their belly doing the compressions on the chest insteadWww@Answer-Health@Com
