When kids elbow you or press on your belly while pregnant does that hurt the baby?

Update:

Um I dont purposely let kids elbow me on purpose, I was watching a movie not paying attention when that happened, & I jumped all over them when they did that 

Update 2:

Plus these kids are like 10 they know better I shouldnt have to tell them sh!t, its not like they real little & didn't know any better

    No, of course not. That baby is protected for a lot more than getting poked with an elbow.

    No, the baby is pretty secure deep in your uterus which lies inside your pelvic cavity protected by the amniotic sac and fluid.  It would take serious force to cause any harm.  That said, why would  you allow your children to continuously elbow or attempt to hurt the baby?  Most Mom's are careful around young children, guiding them to be gentle with the baby by explaining what happening, etc.
