Anyone familiar with contusions/hemtomas?

Sarah

I fell down the stairs when I was a junior in high school, I was wearing socks, on wooden stairs, running down them. Very stupid. Anyway, I fell and ended up getting a contusion the size of a softball on my rump.

This was about three years ago and it hasn’t gone away but it got smaller, where I would Have to press down to feel it.

I’m 17 weeks pregnant and its started hurting again, and has even grown a bit larger, I can see it in a mirror now.

Can someone tell me a little bit more about contusions and why it would have gotten bigger?

I’m going to my OB next on the 23rd and I’m going to bring it up to him.
