Any premature labor will have risks on the baby. It really depends on how far from your due date you are. Anything over 4 weeks early runs risks of respiratory problems. They also run risks of other problems such as eye problems due to the medications and treatments they need to give your baby to keep him alive. With respect to bumps while pregnant, your baby is very well padded where he is. He is surrounded by a lot of fluid which absorbs a lot of the impact. He should be fine. Please talk to your doctor about your concerns.

This is way too early to go into labor as your baby is not yet ready to live in the outside world. Babies are not considered fully mature until at least 37 weeks, and even then some of them will need longer. A baby born at 34 weeks is considered to be premature, and may well have to have special care to enable them to breathe. Trying to bring on labor at this stage will not work. The methods usually used will only increase the chances of going into labor if the body is ready to give birth anyway. This is not the case at 34 weeks.
If your baby has been fully engaged for two weeks, labor could start anytime, but it's not a guarantee that it will happen immediately. Engagement typically indicates that the baby is positioned for birth, which can happen days to weeks before labor begins. Every pregnancy is different, so it's essential to stay in touch with your healthcare provider for guidance and to monitor any signs of labor.
