How does it not hurt the baby when the doctor breaks your water?

When a physician or midwife breaks your water, they use something called an amniohook (which almost looks like a plastic knitting needle) to snag the amniotic sac surrounding the baby. Once this sac is opened, the amniotic fluid leaks out. Because the sac isn't part of the baby's body, the act of breaking your water shouldn't hurt the baby.
With that being said, there are some relatively rare risks that can happen when a physician or midwife breaks your water, so it's always best to ask about the pros and cons of the procedure before it happens.

Can the baby get hurt if you are hit in the stomach at 12 weeks pregnant?
I am not sure what you mean by sucking in your belly--if it means holding your stomach in--the answer is "no." Your baby is very well protected by the water surrounding the baby--the amniotic fluid. Intercourse is not going to hurt the baby either unless you have some condition your doctor has diagnosed, and in that case he (or she) would tell you not to have intercourse.
