Slight fall on my butt on the stairs. Should I call the doc tomorrow AM?

Question

I slipped on the stairs. I went down on my butt and slid down 2 or 3 steps before I caught myself. I didnt hit my belly at all. But my husband wants me to call the doc. Think I need to? We have a doppler, I can run upstairs and check the heart rate myself. Anyone else fall and call the doc?

Answer

*update*!
Due to my paranoid hubby I gave the doc a call. She basically said what I would have expected, unless I have any spotting or abnormal pain she's not concerned. And I pulled out the doppler last night,  he sounds just fine! 
Hold the rail on the stairs these days ladies, our balance isn't what it used to be. And I never had much to begin with! Haha

Answer

I’d go in just to be sure so they can check you over, especially if you have an Rh negative blood type (eg O, A, B or AB negative) as they may want to give you a RhoGAM shot.

Answer

Wouldn’t hurt to just call and see what they say?

Answer

I fell HARD on my ass when I was pregnant with my first baby. I couldn’t walk for about 4 days, but I ever called the dr 🤦🏻‍♀️ I ended up dealing with it 3 years later (after pregnancy with my second baby). Turns out I had shattered my tailbone! I had to have surgery and they removed it. OMG so much better now 🤣 I don’t know how I lived with that pain for so many years.

Answer

I mean why not go? I can’t handle questioning.

Answer

I definitely did this exact same thing on Tuesday!!!! I found the babies heart beat on the Doppler and I laid down and made sure I didn’t have cramps or bleeding. The next day I called and they said don’t worry about coming in unless there was bleeding and to just be careful. I also ended up with a sprained foot and bone bruise putting me in a walking boot and crutches. Ugh lol. stairs are out to get us

Answer

Personally I would check the Doppler, lay still for a bit and make sure you can feel baby as you normally do. No pain or bleeding, you’re good. But always follow your gut.

Answer

I fell about a month ago and I hit my stomach slightly on the railing and she was still fine. I also got slammed with a soccer ball in my stomach this week and she’s still fine lol they’re clearly well protected! I would only call if it would put you at ease. When I fell they had me come in because they could tell I was freaking out but they didn’t seem concerned at all

Answer

I slipped and fell down the stairs two weeks ago and I just monitored baby’s movement and made sure I didn’t start bleeding and I never did and baby still just kicking away

Answer

I fell down 4-5 stairs with my first at 8 months and never went in until the whole day had passed and by then they said enough time had passed that if nothing was off, baby had heartbeat, it was fine. And it was fine. My tailbone was just bruised for a couple days. I think if you didn't fall on your stomach is most likely nothing to worry about.
