Brief Answer:
It may affect your child.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
It may affect your baby but because you are in second trimester and apparently there is no direct hurt to you and your baby.
You can go and consult your gynaecologist once and get your examination done to see that your baby is fine.
Please do not worry!
Your baby is absolutely fine.
Enjoy your safe and happy motherhood.
I think I have answered your query if you have further questions I will be happy to help you.
Good luck.
Regards
Dr. Richa
