Updated: Did I really just fall?

sla626 · October 2013

Talk about a scare. I was at work. I'm a realtor. We were previewing homes at an open house. One of the realtors lost her keys. I checked my front pocket a couple of times because knowing me I may have grabbed her keys by mistake, but it was mine in my front pocket.
I left and went back to my truck. I started the truck and then realized something was in my back pocket.
I checked and it was her keys.

I hurried back to the house to tell her I had her keys. I contemplated saying I found them on the ground. Lol.
I navigates the porch steps. But I tripped on the porch and flew on my hands and knees and bumped my belly pretty good. I was fine for a moment. Asked for help up as people rushed towards me. The. It hit me, my baby. I started to ball, trying to reassure everyone I am ok, just scared. Ugh what a trip! I felt baby move afterwards.i feel like an ass. about 10 people saw this and i feel bad because I scared everyone ans myself included. Thank goodness I have a doctors appointment today.
I have my feet up now and relaxing. Both knees all banged up and hands torn up.

Update:
Everything is ok. They did a sonogram, looked like maybe a bruise in there. They said that the worse that could happen from that is it would irritate placenta and start labor. They hooked me up to contraction and heart monitor thing. No contractions and heart is good:) cervix is closed too. It was scarey but all is good:) phew. Just need to nurse my knees and hands lol.

so scary. I'm glad you are resting and extra good that your MD appt is today. Here's a nice cup of hot chocolate for you. (Sorry no fancy pic!!!) ~O)

Don't feel bad, that is scary! Hope everything is okay with LO!!!

JennOH85 · October 2013

Oh no! I agree, putting your feet up and resting until your appointment is a good plan. Remember that LO is very well protected in there. Hope you're all healed up soon!

Oh no how scary! I'm glad you have an appt today for reassurance and glad you felt LO move! Hope you feel better!

Jojo714 · October 2013

Awww... that's terrible. It's NBD as long as baby is okay and you have nothing broken.

Poor thing! I fell on my butt out if a chair a few weeks ago and everyone was so concerned. Mostly I just hurt my pride. I'm sure the doc will say you LO is fine. I think you deserve ice cream though

Oh no! I'm sorry that happened. Good thing you have an appt. today. That would really scare me too. HUGS

((hugs))

It's really scary, isn't it? I fell a few weeks ago and it was frightening because I couldn't catch myself - I splatted full length (avoiding my belly at least) and I kept crying from the stress/surprise of it all. I'm glad you have an appointment today - here's hoping you get the reassurance you need.

I tripped at work around 22 weeks, and it was both embarrassing and scary. I'm sorry for you, but glad you have an appt today for some good reassurance that LO is doing well!

sla626 · October 2013

I'm at my doctors now. Thank goodness. I am sure everything will check out since I do feel baby moving. I am feeling new aches and pains though now that I have calmed down. Best place to be right now.

fiddlefern · October 2013

Yikes. Falling can be scary when you are pregnant. I'm glad the LO is moving!

J&JJ2011 · October 2013

Get some rest! Hope all is well!

Mytaras · October 2013

Aww I'm sorry you fell

hope you feel better! And I'm so glad Lo is moving.

karenh773 · October 2013

I totally feel your pain, literally! I fell last week while eating a brownie in the Target parking lot and I also cried in front of a lot of people. I'm glad you and baby are ok! Be nice to yourself and take it easy, I know I'm still hobbling around and it's been a week!

I remember your story last week and felt so bad for you. I remember thinking how scared you must have been. Now I know. So glad both of our LOs are ok.
It's such mix of emotions. Scared, embarrassed, laughing at yourself, loss of pride, ect.
I told my hubby today I am just going to walk super slow for the nex 2 weeks because if I fall again I am camping it out in the hospital lol

My husband is all about making sure I'm holding on to railings, walls, etc. I walk with supervision now, haha. The OB hospitalist actually told me after he examined me that "I probably hurt my pride more than anything else." I was like, thanks dude. How many weeks are you? I still have a month left to be paranoid about parking lots, brownies, walking...

I am 38weeks and 2 days. Doctor said its good I am
So far along. I just said today I am glad this didn't happen weeks ago or no one would let me do anything lol.
