Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Slight kick on the stomach do not affect or harm the baby, if there is no pain , contractions or any bleeding.
You should look for the fetal movements.
If these are normal, then there is nothing to worry.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
