Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Not likely: The baby is well protected inside your abdomen. In early pregnancy things are so small that any sort of trauma is unlikely to have any effect. You could simply schedule a visit for your prenatal care of though and your doctor can verify that everything is okay.
