Has anyone else fallen?

Question

UPDATE 2: I did end up calling my OB. She said that as long as I'm not bleeding or leaking fluid and baby girl is moving a lot then everything should be alright. As far as my ankle goes, I'm pretty sure I sprained it so I bought a brace and keeping it elevated + iced.
UPDATE: It's only been 15 minutes since I wrote this post and she started moving as soon as I ate halfway through my Nutty Bar. I live literally 2 minutes from the hospital so if I need to go in I will, but she's definitely moving now. 
I was walking with my 1.5 year old in 1 hand and rolled my ankle so I fell off the back porch step. I landed on my side with him in my arms and just laid there for a few minutes because I messed up my ankle. I'm nervous because I'm 33 weeks pregnant and I haven't felt her move since. It was like 30-40ish minutes ago. I'm laying on my left side and drank something cold. Hoping she'll start moving soon. I'm gonna eat something sweet in a few minutes and see if that works too. Has anyone else fallen and their little one was okay?? 😓😓

Answer

After you eat something sweet, if she still doesn’t move then you need to call your doctor. Even if everything is fine, it’s better to get checked out to make sure all is well.

Answer

Honestly, I would go to the ER. That’s just me though. I’m not saying you have to. But falling on your side could be scary. 
If your plan is to stay home and wait for the baby to move I would do eat something that usually makes your little one stir and then do kick counts for two hours. 
I hope your baby is okay and so is your ankle! 💕💕 keep us updated?

Answer

I would call my midwife ASAP and go get baby checked. I wouldn’t wait around for her to move from sweet food and cold drinks.

Answer

I fell two weeks ago while carrying my 21 month old and ended up fracturing my foot 😭 I was protecting my toddler’s head and my belly on the way down and landed on my side but my foot wasn’t so lucky. I called my OB who said since I didn’t have any pain or bleeding to just monitor movement and call if there was a decrease. Baby has been fine but I was on crutches for a week and am still wearing a boot!

Answer

I rolled my ankle at 26 weeks but I actually landed straight on my belly. I did go to the emergency room but he was ok I just had a really bad sprain and had to walk on crutches for a week. I’m happy you are feeling baby move. If you landed on belly then I do suggest to go to the hospital. But if you didn’t and baby is moving then you should be ok.

Answer

I fell down my back steps two weeks ago and landed on my back. I had the wind knocked out of me and some cuts and bruises, but the baby was moving almost immediately afterward. I called my midwife but she said that because baby was moving and I wasn’t experiencing any bleeding or cramping, I didn’t need to go in for a check up. She just told me to rest and take care of myself. 
Hope you feel better soon and that baby is okay!

Answer

You still need to go in to be checked.

Answer

I fell a few weeks back and called the nurse they made me come in and be monitored for 6 hours. She said it was a standard procedure even though I was still feeling movement and had no complaints:-/

Answer

I fell forward on all fours. Didn’t bump my stomach. After a few hours I called my OB just to be safe and he sent me to the hospital. Turns out the fall jostled me into having contractions at 28 weeks. They kept me overnight and stopped the contractions by using an IV. I am SO glad I called and I highly recommend you call too.

Answer

I accidentally fell getting onto my bed but baby was moving right away after it started and stayed moving but lay on your side for 2hours and you should feel baby move at least 10 times and of nothing go to hospital and drink something supper cold and sugary and a sugary snack as well
