I Fell Over....
as I was leaving work this afternoon.. I fell over... I mainly landed on my hands and my right hand side... but it gave me a real shock - a few hours later.. and a soak in the bath.. I am having the odd twinge - but then I get those quite often.. I did speak with the early pregnancy unit at the hospital and she said that unless I had bleeding or strong pain - then all should be well - as the baby is well cushioned.. but it doesn't stop me worrying... has anyone else fallen over... I am 13 weeks... xx

Havent fallen over (touch wood) but just thought Id say take care and rest up and try and not worry x x x
I fell arse over tit down a steep set of wooden stairs naked (don't ask) at 12 weeks!!!
I was black and blue and covered in friction burns with a suspected broken shoulder and I could hardly move my back . I was convinced I had lost our baby, they scanned me immediatley when I got to hospital and beanie was doing loop the loops waving her arms about. I went on to have a very healthy baby who's now 4.
When I was at the hopspital they said that our babies are really well protected inside and it takes a significan trauma to the abdomen to have an effect.
try not to worry to much babe

Also I know someone who fell down stairs at about 26ish weeks and her baby was fine too.
I spoke to a friend who had her baby last January and she confessed that the day before she was supposed to be going to hospital to be induced (she was overdue) she slipped on the snow straight onto her bump and her waters burst and she went into labour! No harm to baby might I add, just must have given him the wake up call he needed to get moving! So might be a tip for all us mums that are hoping we don't go over due!! lol!! x
Anyway thank you all again.. and I shall now walk like a granny - so I never fall again..

The dog stepped on my bump yesterday too which always worries me as she's quite a big dog but I listen on my doppler to make sure babys ok. I'm sure it's all fine, try not to worry.

Everything was absolutely fine. Tough a reassuring scan should be expected from your doctor. I would ask for that.
