My friend is 4 months pregnant. The other day she and my son were playing and he jumped on her stomach. He weighs 24 pounds.
Could this have harmed the baby?

The baby is most likely okay. It's not like the baby is right underneath the skin..there's the skin, the uterus, the amniotic fluid, then the baby. It's pretty protected in there. If she starts cramping or bleeding or feeling sharp pains then she should see a doctor.

Chances are that the baby is just fine. The uterus offers an amazing amount of protection for a fetus, plus it is surrounded by amniotic fluid. But if your friend experiences cramping , spotting or pain she should see the doctor.

Probably not. Ive gotten kicked and jumped on...accidentally and playing around, by my 45 pound son. and my baby is just perfectly fine. THe baby is so well, protected with the amniotic fluid, etc...that Im sure everything is ok.

Odds are no. The baby is surrounded by a protective layer of amniotic fluid which can absorb the presure of any sudden jolt. But if she feels cramping or pain or anything abnormal- she should consult her doctor.

It depend after he jumped on her stomach did she get pains from it now if she didn't get any pains that doesn't means it didn't hurt the baby she probably can't tell. But I think she should get check out at the doctor to see for show..

He could have. Does your friend have any stomach pains? and discomfort? any bleeding?
I am sure you feel terrible. Why not give her a call and see how she is.
More than likely she is fine otherwise you would know by now, but just to put your mind at rest give her a call.

I doubt it, the baby is safe inside it's mother's uterus unless of course she is cramping or bleeding then she should see a doctor

I really doubt it. If its been a few days and she's not spotting or anything, I'd say everything is fine. She can always go to the doc if she's concerned.

The baby should be alright but if in doubt go and see your midwife.

Possible, but not likely. Is she cramping or bleeding? She should get an ultrasound.
