Accidentally? How?: As in his arm flops onto your abdomen when he's asleep? That wouldn't hurt your fetus. If he hits you while awake, tell your OB right away to get immediate help seeking safety & counseling , because that's simply not acceptable. If you are a victim of domestic abuse, your child will be, also, even if dad never hits him. Also, a noticeable decrease in fetal movement needs to be evaluated asap.
