In case anyone was wondering if the Lord's plans can ever be thwarted.... Here is proof positive.... No! They cannot.
"The embryo of Pūru’s descendant begotten by the great hero Abhimanyu in the womb of Uttarā, his wife, was burnt by the weapon of the son of Droṇa, but later he was again protected by the Lord." SB 3.3.17
As we know Aśvatthāmā, launched the brahmastra to destroy Maharaja Pariksit as he was developing in embryo. And we know also that Pariksit was given audience of Lord within the womb of his mother.

What we may not be aware of is that the body that was forming was in
fact destroyed by the brahmastra. It was burnt. Since Lord Krishna had
chosen that particular living entity to become the descendant of the
Pandavas and heir to the throne, Lord Krishna was not to be thwarted.
"The particular living entity who was selected to be the descendant of Mahārāja Pūru, or the Pāṇḍavas, was not an ordinary living entity, and by the superior will of the Lord he was destined to be the successor to Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira." SB 3.3.17 purport
Lord Krishna simply supplied a new body...right there within the womb. A whole new embryo for Maharaja Pariksit.
"By His appearance within the womb, the Lord encouraged the child and gave him complete protection in a new body by His omnipotency." SB 3.3.17 purport
