tripped up steps?

Question

29 weeks & I tripped going up the steps, I was carrying items so I wasn't quick at catching myself. There wasn't a direct blow to my belly but sort of the side of it. No bruising & she's moving fine, do I still need to call OBs office?

Answer

I would call and ask nurse at your office just to be sure they don't want you to come in. Better safe than sorry.

Answer

I would call and let them know. A family friend fell while walking her dog and her placenta detached. Better safer than sorry!

Answer

Baby is doing just fine, thank you for all your advice ❤️

Answer

Baby is super well-cushioned between your muscles, uterus, and the amniotic fluid. Give them a call for your own peace of mind so they can tell you that, but if baby's moving I'd just ignore the people saying to "go to triage" -- do your research! Very few falls can affect the baby and yours doesn't sound bad at all.

Answer

I fell twice once on concrete and once hitting my side pretty hard on a table and chairs. My OB said he has never in his 30 years seen a woman injure her baby by falling the only thing that has injured babies he has seen is dramatic impacts like car accidents. He went ahead and made sure all was okay and said all was fine. Most likely u will just be a little sore.

Answer

Yes go to triage and get checked and let them monitor your baby and do an ultrasound to make sure nothing detached or anything like that

Answer

I fell on my butt weeks ago and I didn't bother. If it wasn't hard, and if baby is acting fine, and there's no cramping I wouldn't worry about it. You can call if you want obviously but I don't think it's something you need to worry over
