Help me calm down (I fell)

Please ladies, help me calm down.  I was getting into my car for work just now (which was parked in the street) and my foot went down into a hole in the grass and I went flying.
I landed on my hands and knees but it was still a good jolt to my body.  I can't stop shaking.
I'm only 4 1/2 weeks....I'm guessing a doctor call or visit would be pointless as they can't do anything at this point.
I had a miscarriage before this hence the freakout.
I'm feeling kind of crampy but my lower abdomen tends to do that when I'm nervous or upset.
Please talk me down, I'm sure the worry is totally irrational at this early stage.

  • You should be okay Hun, I jumped off our porch steps then remembered I shouldn't do that, everything's alright. Deep breaths.

  • You are probably fine but if it would help you feel better you can call your doctor for reassurance - and they don't mind the calls.  The baby is extremely cushioned at this point :) The concern is probably going to be more for how sore you are or if you hurt yourself.

  • You'll be fine. The baby is the size of a pen point right now. It's well protected.

  • I went white water rafting before I knew I was pregnant with my second. She's fine :) Your body is built to protect your baby!

  • I agree that you are absolutely fine, I went skiing last time with mine.  Until they push out past your pelvic bone it would take a lot to hurt them.

  • You're okay! You're okay! The baby is just a tiny blip inside lots of layers of skin, fat, muscle, etc. I doubt s/he even felt anything. Don't beat yourself up, though--accidents happen.

    I also went white water rafting when I was about 4w pregnant with my daughter. I assure you that was a lot more violent than a fall and everything was perfectly fine. They're cozy and safe in your uterus, I promise.
