So I called the doctor this am and still have not heard back. Granted my dog is only a 13lb Pomeranian, but it still hurt. The receptionist in her office told me to call it, but I feel kinda like it really isn't an emergency since I'm not cramping or spotting. I am a little sore where she stepped - which was belly button high, but closer to my side.
Do you think this garners a call to her emergency #? or should I just wait till tomorrow - she is only in from 12-2 on Thursdays.
I know I am probably over reactting, but I don't have the best pregnancy record.
Thanks
Nikki

At 16 weeks, the top of the uterus hasn't reached your belly button yet (that usually happens around 20w)
So if your dog stepped at belly button level, near your side, I'm guessing it was no where near your ute or baby
Not an emergency - especially if you aren't have any spotting or cramping. We have a 60 pound puppy - and he flopped right on my belly a few weeks ago and all is well.
Try to relax.
personally, i wouldn't worry about it, but if it makes you feel better to hear it from the doctors mouth, I would just go ahead and call. Hope you feel better soon!
Thanks Ladies! I feel a better. I know I over react about a lot of things these days, but it is hard not too
I think I will go home relax, put my feet up and have DH cook dinner. If I am not feeling well in the morning, I will give the emergency number a call.
I don't think you're overreacting. I have a shitty m/c history as well (this baby was a twin. this pregnancy has been impossible to not worry through) and I will go as far as anything for something that seems trivial to others but freaks me out to get piece of mind.

I have a 20lbs terrier, a 60lbs lab mix, and a 3 year old step-daughter. Lots of bouncing, hitting, tripping, falling, etc. I wouldn't worry too much about it if you're not cramping or spotting.
But I would probably feel the same way as far as precautions go if I had your M/C history.
Congratulations and good luck!
im sure you're fine... i often wake up to my dog thinking my large belly is a perch for him to look out our bedroom window... sad that he even knows the biggest thing in the room is me...haha
babies are very well protected
If you are at all nervous or worried, call your doctor. That's what they are there for. Don't torture yourself because someone else says you're fine.
And to the PP who suggested lying about bleeding...that is the worst advice I have ever heard. Even if you were kidding, it's not funny.
