It must be hard when you have a toddler that doesn't understand. My 3 1/2yo DS does but occassionally if we too are mucking around i get a bit worried. My personal opinion - and by no means a proffessional one - is that if doesn't hurt me when we bump that the baby should be fine. I guess it all comes down to a gut instinct. If you are at all concerned or do happen to get a kick accidentally that you feel was too big and hurts you I personally would ring my midwife/ OB/ GP just to check where I stood. Maybe ask them next time you have an appointment. Are you feeling the baby yet? As that too can be a good indication that baby is ok if you can still feel he/she moving around.
I guess as pg women we are very aware of our body and what we do/what happens to it. So therefore we are the best indication if something is wrong. I am sure you will be fine and are not the only one worried about this. As I said, at times i am too.
