Q: I'm 4 1/2 weeks pregnant and I have fallen

On my way to my car today I slipped and fell in the driveway. I fell onto my lower back and I am wondering if I could have hurt the baby. I have had some light cramping which is normal for me as I did it for the first few weeks of my last pregnancy. I just need some reassurance or advise on what I should do. Would it be possible for any doctor at this point to hear a heart beat?

I would just go to the doctor for a check up just to make sure nothing has been damaged whether that be the baby or you! If you have hurt your back and you still have a long time to go it will just get worse.
