How worried should I be?

Wepplo

If this were a weekday, I wouldn't bother posting here and would just call my doctor. Unfortunately, it happened last night (Friday) and I'm not sure this warrants an emergency call!

Last night I was laying on the couch and my ~40 lb. puppy jumped across me. She landed with one leg on my lower stomach/uterus area. It hurt, but not a huge deal. It wasn't until a few minutes later that I realized I was having light aches from the stop she landed on. Those lasted on and off all evening. Kind of like a bruised feeling (not from touching though, just a light ache every 30 mins or so). Not enough to wake me during the night.

This morning, I've felt it a little again, though less so. No spotting, bleeding, or any other cramps or symptoms.

I'm 13.5 weeks.

Would you be concerned about this? I tend to over-worry, and so I thought your opinions would be helpful. I have my 14 week appointment on Tuesday, if it makes any difference.

Thanks so much for reading. My paranoid-self appreciates it.

You should be fine especially if no bleeding! It's normal to worry, hang in there.

My daughter is ~35lbs and she occasionally bounces on me (obviously I try to not have this happens, it can be pretty uncomfortable). I'm also 13.5 weeks. At this point baby is so small and has a lot of cushion in there. I would try not to worry, I bet baby is okay.

That has happened to me with my daughter... same thing, I felt muscle cramps afterwards. My uterus was also sore. I forget what week this was in, maybe 13 or 14. Baby was fine.

My son leaned on me with all his weight the other day, right on the uterus. It flippin hurt and I had to have another talk about why he needs to be careful with the baby. I just figured since its so well cushioned in there itd be ok. I wouldn't worry about it unless your symptoms worsen or you start bleeding:cramping.

My 60lb lab mix did this to me when I was pregnant with my last. Same thing, felt a little sore. I went to the doc and they checked on baby and all was fine. Plus they said the baby is so well protected in there, it would take a lot more than that to effect the baby.

However, I would still call on Monday so that you will have peace of mind and maybe get to see your baby on ultrasound or hear baby's heartbeat!

Hope you feel better soon!

Good idea to call your doc on Monday but I've had similar enthustic dog (and toddler!) issues and all has been fine, despite my worry.

Thanks so much for all your answers and reassurance. This board can be such an amazing resource!

Update on me - all aches were gone by last night. No other symptoms have developed. I'm feeling confidant that all is well, and excited to reach the 14 week mark and have my next appointment on Tuesday! I don't know that this will be the case, but I like to think that once I reach 14 weeks, I will be able to rest a little easier. Fingers crossed!
