Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

Assualt Pregnant Woman

I recently was involved in a fight woman. She was coming towards me and I told her to get back and not to come any closer and she continued to come so I kicked her and then she hit me and we begin fighting. I continued to hit and kick her until the fight was ended by another party. I have since learned that she is pregnant and is having vaginal bleeding. If something happens to the baby will I be responsible for the life of the child even though we both were involved in the fight?
