Somebody talk this newb down please!

I slipped and fell hard on some ice this morning on my front door stoop. I even remember thinking to myself that it was probably icy and I needed to be careful. Ugh!

My totally irrational crazy side is thinking, "OMG! I'm going to lose the baby." My rational side is trying to calm that side by reminding it that the baby is well cushioned and is fine. My rational side is not winning right now.

Why didn't I ask DH to salt the stoop last night?

Can somebody appeal to my irrational side and talk me down? The baby is fine, right?

I'm sure everything is fine. If you're super concerned I'm sure you could call the drs office and they would provide more reassurance. I hope you aren't too sore from the fall, though!

I know what you mean about the ice. We're in the south, it's NOT supposed to be like this! lol

Don't worry too much hon. I've fallen down our stairs 3-4 times already. (Thank you blackouts.) If you are really concerned, call your OB. They told me early on that as long as I didn't start spotting/ bleeding or feeling any cramps I would be fine. (I'd still go in anyway, just to be safe.)

No kidding! If it's this cold now, I can't imagine what January and February are going to be like.

I started having some light brown spotting so I did put in a call to my doctor.

Thanks ladies!

I think baby is probably well protected but to put your mind at ease you might put in a call to your dr.! Hope the bumps and bruises aren't too bad for you!

It's OK Smile People fall all the time when PG. Assuming you don't have any blood or cramping, I'm sure everything is a-ok in there.

But, I totally know what you mean. Last night, I shuffled all the way to my car for fear of falling. Then, DH called me as I was leaving work and told me that he had a hard time driving up the driveway, so I should probably just park at the bottom and walk up. But, I was afraid to walk up, slip and fall, so come hell or high water, that car was going up the driveway. Wink This morning, I saw the lawn carnage I caused in a 10-minute attempt to get my car up to the garage, but dammit, I wasn't going to walk up a slippery driveway last night.
