We investigate the importance of local gravity during preheating, the nonlinear dynamics that may be responsible for starting the process of reheating the Universe after inflation. We introduce three numerical methods that study a simple preheating scenario while relaxing gravitational assumptions, culminating in studying the process in full numerical relativity. We confirm that perturbation theory is no longer valid when one considers modes whose wavelengths are comparable to the size of the horizon at the end of inflation; however, this breakdown does not necessarily lead to a breakdown of the preheating process in nonlinear gravity. For the specific model we test we find no evidence for the creation of primordial black holes from the instabilities in this model. Finally, we remark on the opportunity for future numerical study of nonlinear gravitational dynamics in the early Universe.
