Hit in pelvic area

Jmattis

Hey ladies, really need some advice or reassurance right now. Yesterday we had a party for the 4th and were busy getting food ready in the kitchen. I was standing next to the silverware draw talking to a guest and my husband opened it in a rush and the cornor went right into my pelvic area near my right ovary. It wasn't THAT hard, and I didn't think anything of it at the time, but about an half hour later I started Getting cramps and they turned into shooting pains every mininte right where it hit me. It's lasted all night and the area is sore when I touch it. I'm not bleeding or anything, but def thought I wouldn't be feeling these pains still. You ladies think its just related to the muscles being sore from everything stretching etc? Btw for those of you who are on mobile, I am 12 weeks 2 days. Thanks in advance for your advice/support and hope everyone has a great holiday weekend!

If you're concerned, call your ob.

Forgot to add there is no doctor in the office until Monday. So it's either wait until then or go to the ER.

Are you going to be panicking until Monday?  I tend to be overly cautious so I wouldnt be able to stop worrying until I saw someone and would go in, however since you are not bleeding and it would be the ER, its kinda up to you on when you think it is serious enough.  

EDIT:  Can you call your OB's after hour nurse first? 

Sending positive thoughts that all is well!

I'm an anxious person, so if it continued I might go to the ER. I think though I would try to just rest with my feet up today and see how I felt towards the evening.

FWIW, I was in a car accident and my pelvic area wasjarred (with DS1). I was nervous and called my OB. My OB reassured me that baby is swimming in a pool of buffer solution and probably didn't even notice anything, and also that it would take more than a little car accident to cause placental abruption, which would be the real threat from that (I was rear-ended, so while it seemed bad to me, I was actually pretty far away from the impact). My thought is that getting the drawer to your ovary, while very painful, probably didn't hurt anything at all.

However, if you're worried due to the cramping, I would go sooner rather than later. My OB also said that if anything more serious happened, it was vital to call the hospital within the first four hours. I think you're okay, but if you're concerned I'd call now (even if it's the ER) and put your mind at rest. Sending positive thoughts!

They don't have an on call?

Thanks for your support ladies! Since my doctor an his parners are all out today they told me to go to LD at the hospital to get checked out bc I shouldn't be cramping still and having pain. Wish me luck! Hope my LO is okay

I was thinking the exact same thing. I have never heard of a Dr's office not having a Dr on call after hours or on holidays until I got on this board.

FWIW:  my OB used to have an after hours on call line.  However, when I went for my 1st appt with this pregnancy I was told they got rid of the on call line.  So if its a night or weekend and I'm less than 17w I should go to the ER and if I'm over 17w go to L&D.  They said the reason for their decision was basically an inability to triage over the phone.  I wasn't thrilled with this but it is what it is.  Just wanted to clarify there ARE some OBs who do not have an on call line.

 

OP: I think unless the pain was pretty bad or I started bleeding, I would wait it out. 

 

Edit:  just saw your update.  Hope all is well! Update when you can.

Is there an urgent care near you? Alot of times the have ultrasounds etc and cost less than the ER.

Edit: saw update. Good luck!

Hey ladies thanks so much for your support and prayers. I'm waiting to be discharged from the ER now as the LD department sent me here. I had an ultrasound by the hospital tec and was examined by the chief obgyn resident. The baby was moving around and the heartbeat was good, but the doctor said the pain could be due to an abrucption in the placenta and bc I'm so early in my pregnancy there is no way of knowing an there is nothing they can do. I'm not bleeding or spotting so have to take it easy and be on the look out. They said they can't promise it will be okay, but if its going to happen, it will most likely in the first 24 hours. So just going to rest the remainder of weekend and hope and pray nothing happens. Thanks again ladies you're the best!
