It is perfectly normal to be concerned, but rest assured, baby is well protected from the occasional mishap. The best way you will know all is well is that baby is still moving about. If it gives you some peace of mind, ask your doctor or midwife about doing kick counts... there are a few ways to do them and they may prefer one over another. It can be reassuring. You might also ask about having a scan done for the peace of mind.
