Hello ma'am and welcome.
There is no way your baby can hurt itself, it is well protected by your uterus and the amniotic fluid within. The most likely explanation for these movements is either an increased sensitivity developed by you during an aggravated IBS episode or slight compression of the uterus (harmless) caused due to inflammation of the colon.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
