Falling

Ok, I know it was asked before but I can't find the thread. I slipped coming up the stairs tonight. It wan't hard, i landed on my hip and fell onto the landing, not down stairs. I'm 12 wk 1d. Could I have hurt my baby? Thanks in advance

I would call your OB. I fell 3 times in my first pregnancy and had to go in each time.

No, the baby is really protected. I fell down the stairs and landed on my stomach on concrete at 37weeks and my dd was totally fine. You might, however, have jarred your back pretty good. Ice any pain or swelling, heat to loosen aches and stiff muscles. I'm pretty sure Tylenol is the only pain med that's recommended if you are hurting.

Of course, if you start bleeding or have sharp pain/cramps consult your doctor. Sorry you fell! It stinks. Feel better.

I'm sure everything is fine but if you're worried, call your OB/MW tomorrow and run it by him or her.

I fell out of a high antique bed at 20 weeks with DS and sprained my ankle. I was a mess getting to my A/S that day but everything with baby was perfect. The tech said he probably barely noticed the thump.

Thanks ladies! Your responses ease my mind.

I was past 24wk when I fell last time. It's a whole different protocol. Just call and ask your doc to ease your fears.

I've already fallen twice. Once on my hip on the ice and the other time on the stairs on my butt. I wasn't concerned and didn't bother calling since I didn't have any cramping or spotting.

I fell and broke my arm last week...unless you are having symptoms of a mc or are really worried about you're probably fine. See ur doc if you are really worried.
