Blunt blow to tummy

Just wondering others opinion.
I have a toddler who in the blink of an eye grabbed a ceramic mug from my bedside unit and whacked me on my tummy in the womb area while i was lying down. This was this morning when i woke up. I had a thick blanket on top of me.
It felt like quite a hard blow at the time and was a little painful, not extremely painful , only when it hit but i didnt experience any pain after the event and i dont have any bleeding.
If i dont have any pain and bleeding, do you think i should just monitor things or have an assessment?
Im 17 weeks and they dont see you before 20 weeks in my trust.
I had a rtc 2 weeks ago and had to wait in a&e for 8 hours waiting to be sent up for a scan as they only accept referral from GP or bypassing through a&e ( my gp refused told me go a&e) id no insulin or food with me. i really dont fancy sitting there that long again.
Could a blow like that cause any issues?
I dont know if its something i should have checked out or not.

I would think baby is very well protected and snug inside you so it shouldn’t be an issue, especially if you’ve had no bleeding or problems since. If you do bleed then of course get it checked out but, as someone who also has a raucous toddler, I think it’ll be okay xx

I honestly wouldn’t worry too much. I was around 27 weeks with my DD when one of my horses head butted me in the stomach. DD is now a bright and bouncy 3.5yo so no harm done.
