I was going up the stairs in my apt
carrying groceries when I missed a step.
I landed on my knees and nothing hit my
stomach but i'm just worried that
something could happen. I'm only 5 weeks
along, think everything will be all right?

The fetus is surprisingly protected, so
chances are your fine, but of course be on
the look out for spotting and sharp pains

I fell down 5 steps on my stomach when I
was 8 1/2 months preg. I lost my balance.
Even though I felt fine I had to get
reassurance from my doctor.

You'll be fine--i'm sure of it.
Just take it easy okay
how many stairs?? That might get to be
a bad thing when your 7 months along or so
huh?? Stairs are the "debil" when your
big pregnant lol

I was 5 months when I fell down the
stairs. I missed four steps and fell but
first. I panicked. Luckily, we rented
one of those fetal dopplers so I checked
my baby's heartbeat right away (everything
seems normal). It helps a lot when you
feel paranoid at times regarding your
baby's development. So well, I had no
problems except for minor butt pains and
back but I was fine...No spotting
whatsoever. Just be careful next time.

I whiped out all the time..Probably every
other day in the end. It was embrassing.
The worse time was in canadian tire in
fromt of about 50 people at christmas. I
don't know what I tripped on. My own 2
feet I guess.

Thanks for all the reassurance. I feel
fine and haven't had any spotting or
anything and since this happened yesterday
I guess everything is ok. Just have to be
extra careful from now on, which
considering im a klutz could be a real
challenge :roll:

Falling While Six Months Pregnant Posted: 08-16-05 08:41am
I feel two nights ago while on a walk with
my husband. There was an uneven step in
the sidewalk and it was late at night, we
both stumbled, and I almost caught myself,
but I must've overcorrected because I took
a bad spill into the paved road. It
happened so fast. I hit my head first,
then my left side took the brunt of the
fall. I skinned my hand, elbow and
shoulder pretty bad and my hip hurt really
bad. I was crying because I was not only
scared for the baby, but it hurt. My
husband flagged a car driving by and they
took us home. I could hardly walk that
night and all yesterday because not only
did my left side hurt but my right side
started cramping up for overcompensating.
I went to my ob yesterday and everything
is fine- thank god! It's amazing how
protected the baby is inside the womb.
This is our first child and we were so
worried. My husband was very concerned
when I fell because he was afraid I had
hit my stomach. Just be sure to get
checked out after a fall, no matter how
minor.

Hi Everyone,
It has been almost two years since I
posted the incident about the fall. My
baby girl is now 20 months old. She is
sooo precious, cute, and sweet!
I'm glad these experiences have helped
others! Like I've said, the uterus is an
amazing and complex protecting barrier for
Baby so most likely if Mom falls Baby is
ok, just go get checked out!!! It's
better to be safe than sorry! Good luck to all
the mommies out there. We are so blessed
to be able to have little ones that bring
such joy into our lives!!
