16 weeks and fell on ice?! Help!

Question

I’m 16 weeks today & fell going down the stairs slipping on ice. I was able to sorta catch myself so most the blow was on my arms. Should I go to the Er? Or do you think baby is fine? I’m not trying to miss work but don’t know if it’s needed

Answer

You should be okay! Baby is well protected, but if you start getting weird pains then I would call the doctor

Answer

I have fallen on ice in both of my pregnancies (the curse of living in a cold place)! Both times the baby was fine. I would pay attention for any cramping/bleeding and if you can still feel the baby moving. The doctors told me baby should be ok unless you fall on your stomach. If you are a worrier I recommend going to the doctor for peace of mind. No need to pay the ER bill!

Answer

My doctor told me to tell him if I had anything like that happen. Might be worth a call to your doc.
