welcome to Health care magic.
1.It can harm, may be not directly - but indirectly due to placental cause, maternal cause.
2.At this point of time you have to be keen in feeling the fetal movements, increase / decrease, any kind of spotting, leakage of liquids.
3.However the confirmatory way is, to get an ultrasound scan done for the fetal wellbeing, BPP (biophysical profile).
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
