A member asked:
Can punching your stomach if you are recently pregnant kill the fetus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hopefully not: If you are pregnant and don't want to be, please discuss this with your doctor. There are safer ways to deal with this than punching yourself in the stomach -- or having anyone else do that to you. Fetuses are remarkably resilient, and your uterus is a very strong, protective home for them.
