Can my toddler hurt my baby in the womb?

I really wouldn’t worry about this! Maybe if your toddler knocks you over and you take a hard fall, but other than that I can’t imagine they’ll be able to hurt your baby in utero. If they could I imagine there would be far fewer second children, because toddlers are wild.

If it helps you both to have some peace of mind try talking to your OB. They should be able to tell you under what scenarios you would need to get seen by a doctor. For example they’ll probably say if you have a fall, a small car accident, etc. you should get checked out. If none of those events seem comparable to your toddlers kicks and flailing limbs you’re probably in the clear.
