I fell over!
Hi ladies,
Today as i was coming out of the train station on my way to uni i slipped. It was on quite a steep slope and it was wet and i was walked on this grid my left foot slipped from underneathe me, trying to stop myself from falling i wacked my right knee on the ground at full force. The thing is i think iv pulled a muscle quite badly above my right knee because everytime i move it or walk on it iv bin getting really bad cramps just above my knee and right up my thigh. Im posting this for two reasons, firstly there were loads of people around wen it happened and im quite obviously pregnant, but no-one came over or even asked if i was ok! Wat a bunch ov w**kers, if i saw a pregnant lady take a fall i wud be str8 ova making sure she was ok. The second thing is do u think i shud get myself looked at (especially my leg) or do u think i shud just see how it goes over the next couple of days. I dnt wana be bothering the doctors with something if its trivial. Advise and opinions please girlies (sorry for the long post). Kerry xxx

That's awful that no1 even bothered to c if ur ok! I'm not sure bout ur leg but personally my mum always told me to put a bag of peas or sumthin on where ever i pulled a muscle or strained sumthin and mayb if it still bad 2moro get checked out. Did u fall on ur bump? Cos if u did mayb u best get checked out.
Hope ur alrite

I know I fell early on and at first my Oh laughed then it suddenly dawned on him that I was pregnant and think he got a bit of a shock. Hope you feel better soon babe, big hugs.

I'd probably see how you get on overnight, perhaps have a nice warm bath to bring out any bruising. BUT if your not sure, go to docs/hospital just to make sure.
Unfortunately and sadly it doesn't surprise me no-one came over to help you - people just dont seem care about each other anymore....guess it must be the "invisible walkman syndrome" or blinkers! I could rant on for ages on this subject - used to see it happen all the time when i commuted to/from London!
Anyway, hope your feeling ok v soon & keep us posted

If you did then a first aider from there should have been informed and it should have been logged.
It is obviously a hazard in wet weather.
Like the others have said ....go and get checked out hun even if it is only your knee that hurts.
Take it easy.x
Hope you're feeling better - get some arnica for your knee asap.x
Good to hear you didn't fall on your bump, but I would still get checked out - just in case. Also, if there's anything wrong with your knee, better to get it looked at sooner than later. Better to get it sorted now than when you have a LO to look after too.
Unfortunatly, nobody cares! I was 5 months pregnant in the middle of summer, had a 'Baby on board' badge on too, got on a train, nobody gave up their seat. Train got packed & really hot, I fainted on the train and NOBODY helped me. People just stared at me and I just wanted to cry.
Ladies, could I just say that whenever I do have to take public transport (I'm in Harrow on the outskirts of London), I ASK people if they wouldn't mind moving to let me sit down as I'm pregnant if they don't offer. It's amazing how many people suddenly become engrossed in their nails/looking out the window etc.
I almost see it as a duty to make a point now, as people need to get the message - so next time you're on public transport - do the same and don't be shy - to get what you want/need sometimes you need to be more proactive around these selfish egotistical members of society!
(phew feel better for that - so early in the morning aswell!)
