Just fell down a whole flight of stairs inside my house =(

The slipper socks I was wearing did not agree with my stairs. As I began walking down, I cant even remember now if I was holding the bannister. I want to say I was. Anyway 10 steps later I went sliding down on my right side and didnt feel my stomach hitting the stairs so I hope I am in the clear. However of course I am nervous. I will monitor and if I start having any cramps or spotting I will call the dr or go to the ER.
What are your thoughts? Anyone have a similar experience?
TIA!

I would call your doctor regardless if you have insurance, just to give you peace of mind.

I fell up the stairs this morning and started having cramps. I called the OB and they're having me come check it out in about an hour. So I feel like everything is probably ok though. When in doubt call your OB. That's what I did.

I kid you not I just did this I think like 2 weeks ago. Fell down all but the top two stairs, while carrying my 38+ lb toddler. Man did it freakin' hurt. I was sore and bruised for quite some time. But, ob even told me this early on it is all but impossible for that to have done anything to baby. They are just so small and well insulated still, tucked deep inside. Now, I am not saying you shouldn't talk to or see your dr since that that will definitely give you peace of mind if nothing else. Just don't panic or go into worry mode too much. Baby is very likely completely fine and totally unphased by what happened to mommy. Which is really about how baby feels once outside too generally.
