Work Problems??

Im between 5 to 7 weeks pregnant. I go to the OB/GYN tomorrow. I work at a Psychiatric Hospital and I had to (about 1 hour agao) break up a fight between two patients. I fell on my knees and then stomach while doing this. I feel ok but my husband is freaking out. Im just sitting down now. What do you suggest??

I worked at a teen psych facility when pregnant with my first. You are luckily very early on, but I would take your husband's concerns seriously. We had some, rare patients target staff they knew were pregnant. Definitely inform your work & coworkers so they can help you and your child stay safe.

Hey. I'm sure baby is fine. Very well protected in there. It's understandable ur man is worried tho. Ur work can b risky and lime mine they will need to do a risk assessment. I transfered to a less challenging unit for the duration of my pregnancy to minimise the risk.

With my first I was in a severe ATV accident, I broke 3 ribs, my collar bone, and had a pneumothorax. At the time I was probably around 6 or 7 weeks. My son was perfectly healthy and I didn't even know I was pregnant at the time and had x-rays and an MRI. I think your baby should be perfectly fine :)

I fell on cement at 18 weeks and my doctor was worried. She told me to come in if I started bleeding. Your baby is even smaller than mine was so you should be good!

You should be fine. The baby is well protected behind your pubic bone and so very small at that.
