falling

I am 26 weeks pregnant. We aren't allowed having laundry in our apartment so I have to carry it up the hill to our little laundry matt. After going up the steps and walking through the parking lot I had tripped over an uneven patch of the concrete in the parking lot, had my laundry basket in both my hands so when I feel forward I could brace myself up with my arms. My stomach didn't hit anything but my knees scraped off the concrete. Should I call my Dr? I have had some cramping and back pain :/

I'm glad you and your baby are OK. My rule of thumb is I go in anytime I feel like something is wring or I'm worried. My doctor doesn't even mind. He says don't call just come.

He's here! Timothy james Frederick! Born 10:08 pm. 12-17-14 2lbs 0 oz! Had to have an emergency c section and boy that was awful! Our little guy gave us a scare_! After my fall I got up the next day to get ready for work and noticed I was spotting. Went to the drs and got checked out Hooked up to the  machine to monitor him and his heart rate was acting weird, did vag. Ultrasound and found out my cervix was short and thinnng. Did another ultrasound on baby and he wasn't moving at all. But everything is fine now! Just goes to show you you don't have to hit your belly to do damage or stress the baby! This is my first baby and my first surgery. They took me to west Penn. In Pittsburgh! I would recommend this place to anyone!
