26wks preg.my 2-yr-old has started bonding with baby but sometimes accidentally presses belly before i realise. can she harm unborn baby accidentally?

Wouldn't worry: The baby is well protected by the equivalent of bubble wrap within the layers of tissue and fluid in the womb. I wouldn't worry about your 2 yo hugging or pressing on the belly.
