No: VERY unlikely. You have many layers of protection for the baby with your body and uterus. Also the babies are exposed to your uterine blood flow sound that can be as high as 80 dB which can protect from loud sounds outside. They should get a routine newborn screening test depending on where u live. Hope that helps! Congrats!!
