PGAL brain - Slipped down the stairs

jess123456 · May 2014

Hey ladies!

Ok I know I'm probably overreacting here but I'm kind of freaking out and PGAL brain isn't helping. I am 15.5 weeks and I was walking down the carpeted stairs with socks on and slipped down a few stairs. I didn't land on my belly and caught myself with my feet and hands (landing on my butt) but I'm worried. I just checked him on the doppler and his heart is beating but I feel so guilty and can't help thinking I hurt him. Realistically I know that he is well cushioned in there and that it's a good thing I didn't land on my belly. Please talk me off the ledge. Has this happened to any of you and everything was OK? I don't have cramping or bleeding/spotting. Thanks and sorry for my crazy.

Just rest, monitor for bleeding cramping, yup he is well padded. I know I have heard others stating they have fallen and all was ok. You can always call your dr tomorrow to ask them especially if you are really worried.

This.

And - for reassurance - I fell in ice twice - landing on hip/butt both times - which sounds similar to your fall in impact - once probably around 17 or 18 weeks once maybe 24 or 28 and my little girl is in my arms now and a-ok. But calling to check is still a good idea - I didn't b/c I had an u/s the next day anyway but got told I should have. Well that wad the second fall which was harder - the first one I didn't tell anyone about about until now.

When I was pregnant with my daughter I fell down an embankment around 14 weeks. It was maybe 4 feet and I landed/slid on hands and knees (a ridiculous story, actually...I got scared because I saw a snake and in running away my sunhat came down over my eyes so I couldn't see where I was going...fail all around). She was fine--I of course was a total mess, so I understand how you are feeling. It's great that you heard the heartbeat and have no bleeding or cramping!

Thanks so much everyone!! I'm taking it easy tonight. I really appreciate your comments. I was feeling pretty positive and then bam that happened so it really shook me up.

Scary, for sure! Rest up and if you need reassurance, call the doc in the morning.

Sorry about your fall, I'd be worried too. I'd give your dr a call to let them know just in case, but I'm sure it's fine!

Sorry you had a scare!

I am sure everything is fine! Like others have said, I would call the dr if you are worried. Sending you hugs!

Thanks so much ladies! I'm doing fine today. No cramping or bleeding and doppler checked him last night and this morning and his heart is beating away.
