Ouch.

So at church today I got three of my fingers slammed in a very old, very heavy pair of swinging doors.  I was thisclose to passing out but made it through (and I had to sing, too).  Now I'm home, have been icing on and off, and I think it's okay.  Nothing seems broken.  Did any of you have any injuries while pg?  If so, how did you deal?  I'm thinking I'll just take some Motrin and suck it up but man, my fingers hurt.  Everyone was trying to give me drugs & I knew I couldn't take any of them so I just said I thought I would throw up if I tried to take them, which may have been true anyway!

ETA: I guess I won't take Motrin since it's a class C drug for pregnancy.  This sucks.

OMG!  OW!  I never know what to do when I think I might have a broken/fractured bone.  I always convince myself that it's probably fine and that the Drs office would make fun of me.

The only traumatic thing I can remember is getting stung by a bee the day after I found out I was pregnant.  lol  I didn't take anything.

You might still get them checked, I wasn't pregnant but stbxh threw a football funky once and it hit my hand in just the way that it broke a piece of my knuckle off. It hurt like b!tch. My finger turned blue by the next morning. I almost passed out as well, which is why I believe you should get it looked at in some manner. 

I could see this being a good possibility for me...I have a huge lump on one of my knuckles   Maybe I should get it looked at; I just want to avoid xrays if I can!

Me too!  Last time I got hurt I went to the ER after a couple hours of pain only to find out my ankle was just sprained.  I was so mad at myself when the bill came for that one!

You can take tylenol (big whoop) and use ice packs. Since you are pregnant since it is an isolated injury they can shield the baby with a lead apron and do the xray if u want to know if anything is broken. Good luck!!
