A member asked:

If a pregnant woman gets punched very hard on her arms, can she miscarry? or only if she gets punched onto the stomach?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very unlikely: Although the interaction may have been very traumatic and caused a lot of anxiety that may lead to a miscarriage, it is unlikely. It might be helpful to seek counseling or other help before something more serious happens.
