Is it serious to be hit in the stomach at 33 weeks pregnant?

Patient's question:

I'm 33 weeks pregnant. Today, my partner walked past me and accidentally bumped into my stomach with force. At that moment, my stomach hurt a bit, and the baby moved. Did I hit the fetus? Will it break a bone?

Doctor's answer:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
Hitting like this will never cause a fracture, because the fetus in the uterus is protected by the abdominal wall and the uterine wall, in addition to the amniotic fluid. Unless it's a very forceful push, it will be fine. It is recommended to pay attention to rest, ensure deep sleep, enhance nutrition, avoid overtime, relax your mood, and always keep a cheerful attitude. If there is no focused abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding, it's fine. Otherwise, it is recommended to go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination.
