Stupid snow!!

Or stupid me. I'm so mad at myself. I slipped and fell earlier on my hands and knees. I didn't hit my stomach and baby is moving around like crazy. Only regular braxton hicks and no bleeding, his heart rate on the doppler is steady. Anyone else fallen while prego??

I fell when I was about 6months pregnant with DD1. I slipped in the garage and fell straight back on my tailbone, smacked my head and elbow on the concrete. I was in an enormous amount of pain for several days and my tailbone has never been the same. DD1 is a perfectly normal active 16 month old. I wouldn't worry unless you stop feeling movement or start bleeding. Call your doctor if you're really concerned

I've been instructed to call MD nurse line to report any falls at this stage in the game, just to make sure. But yes, I took a hard fall onto my butt in the snow when I was VERY pregnant with DS.. Like the week before my delivery. It was okay.. but oww.

I fell about a month ago.... it was on my knees and it was a rough few days but baby is a-ok

I fell last night demonstrating something in a ballet class I was teaching. I caught myself with my hands, then my hip, but it sucked. No lack of movement, or bleeding, so in not too concerned. Btw if anyone was wondering, trying to balance on the balls of your feet while pregnant is not easy, but hurts like hell when you get a calf cramp. (I apparently made a noise like a screaming goat when it happened too >.>)

Slipped and fell in the hallway due to unusually clean floors...I had gotten this new Swiffer Dusting Spray that had gain smell in it and went a little crazy because it smelled so good. Before I knew it I had traveled on my hands and knees "polishing" all the hardwood floors. The house smelled amazing, but I had essentially buttered our entire flooring. That plus socks equals impossible to move without falling. I immediately had to go back through and mop everything with pine-sol...and wear slippers. All turned out fine though, and I definitely won't ever make that mistake again.

Totally thought of those Taylor Swift videos

Oh gosh. I haven't done any classes for a few years. I could not imagine trying to pirouette in the 3rd trimester! Or while being pregnant in general. Haha. Props to you, sister!

Argh sorry you fell! That is scary! We got some snow last night and the roads and sidewalks were/are so icy. I'm nervous about walking the dog!

@AmadorRose You'd have to ask my students. They were all simultaneously freaking out and laughing their butts off!

@mjdemary I can officially say I haven't done a pirouette in over two years lol. It was literally just showing the difference between relevéing with straight legs, and then from plié. It was the second one that killed me.

Btw my calves are STILL killing me!!!
