I just fell

in March 2011 Moms
I think I'm ok,but I scraped up my knee REALLY bad. Most of the fall was broke by my knee, but I think my stomach came down on my knee. I called the doctor in between my tears and they said the baby should be fine b/c it's just starting to come up behind the pelvis region so it's still really padded. If I cramp or spot I'm to head to the ER immediately. I can't stop crying and I keep telling myself it's fine, but my knee is throbbing, I'm all alone, and now I'm overanalyzing any little twinge in my stomach.

    I know it is hard to not freak out but I think the Dr. is right.  It has a lot of padding right now. 

    Try to relax...maybe take a nap??

    Put your feet up, relax, drink some water.  My neice jumped on my abdomen HARD -  knees first  - when I was just over 9 weeks.  I was sore for a few hours, but everything is fine.

    I know I would be freaking out to, but I am sure baby is fine... Hopefully your knee is ok to, put some ice on it and try to relax.

    Poor you!!  You're certainly not alone we're all here for you in spirit.  Like others have said definitely put your feet up, ice that knee and take a nap or maybe watch some trashy TV to distract you.  Is there a friend or family member you can call to come over and keep you company?  

    Take care and know your baby will be just fine.

    I'm sorry- that's scary.  My dog was jumping yesterday and wasn't sure if he got my stomach or not- I know he got a boob, lol, but i was a little worried, too.  Hope all is ok- It sounds like you mostly fell on your knee.

    I'm sorry you fell but I'm sure the baby is fine they really are cushioned in there. Try to take it easy and maybe lay down and watch some boob tube.

    Thanks ladies. I am sitting in the chair with my feet on the ottoman, my leg elevated, and an ice pack on my knee. I think I more freaked out because I fell on my bad knee and while I'm pretty sure it just hurts b/c of the scrape, the thought of messing it up after it has taken 3 years of rehab and 2 surgeries to fix it had me really scared.

    I fell a couple of weeks ago too, landed on my knee and twisted my back.  Doctor said the same thing, the baby is protected and not to worry.  You're doing the right thing now, keep that knee elevated and iced for the next 24 hours and take it easy! I know it's hard not to, but try to relax and not worry about the baby :)

    i am sorry.  sounds scary!  i wish i could say "relax, have a glass of wine."   but obviously i can't. 

    only thing i wanted to add is, do you know why you fell?  maybe you can try to prevent falling again. like if you slipped on some water, then make sure you always clean up spills.  you already know your knee is a problem for you.  and now you have a history of falling, so you might want to take some extra precautions.  i know this link is directed at the elderly, but i think the section on making your home safer might be helpful  .https://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/duip/spotlite/falltips.htm#2
