Possible: although not likely, it is possible for a fetus to suffer harm from a blow to the abdomen. If you feel that you have suffered a significant punch, you should see your obstetrician for evaluation. Also, if you are being physically abused, be sure to bring that up to your obstetrician. Good luck.
