I Fell Down!!!

[sha21]

Hey Ladies!! Hope everyone's doing well. I need a little advice as to what I should do. I'm currently 24 weeks and 3 days. This is embarassing to tell but here it goes. I went to the breakroom about 2 hours ago to make me some tea, well I dropped my cup and it slipped all over my jeans and the floor. To top that off I fall in the middle of it. Most of the fall was placed on my knee but you know I'm not very good at balancing these days and fell over into the side of the refrig, then onto my rear end. HOW EMBARASSING!!! OMG. My knee is killing me and I scuffed up my hand and a little cramping (not bad). It took my little one about an hour to start moving around again but he's moving. I'm just a little worried and don't know if I should call my doctor or what. What do ya'll think?  Sorry so long thanks for reading.

i'm glad all is well...i thought you would be just fine.  the baby probably enjoyed the tumble...my girl seems to love my high activity.  she will probably require me to bounce her to sleep and constantly sway her to remind her of life in my womb...i am always moving so she is spoiled!!

you be careful too :-)  and keep laughing!

I can't help but laugh at myself because stuff happens and there was nothing I could do about falling. I just fell. Hubby and me got a real good laugh about it last night. My knee is real banged up but little one's okay. He was just kicking away last night. I didn't ever fall when I was pregnant with my son but I guess every pregnancy comes with something new. My doctor told me that there's nothing to be too concerned about unless I start bleeding and cramping. He said the baby is very well protected. That's a relief, I kinda knew little one would be ok I was just a little scared. I tell you though falling down is like climbing up a mountain to get up and now I feel like I've been ran over. I'm just real sore. Thank you for responding and try to be careful.LOL

it is good that you are able to laugh at yourself...i think that a sense of humor is a very important quality in a pregnant woman!!  wait till you get even bigger and your balance is even more impaired...  my husband cannot wait till baby girl comes because i am constantly tripping and stumbling.  i've already twisted both ankles and injured my shoulder!  i'm naturally accident prone.

I say it's defintely worth a call to your doctor! We are ALL clumsy! Don't be embarrassed! I am a "better safe than sorry" type. Let us know what your Doctor advises. Good luck

I think you are probably ok but I agree with the other ladies that you need to call your doctor just to be safe.  I was hit head on by a semi truck when I was 6 months pregnant with my daughter.  the airbag deployed, it totalled my suv, the whole 9 yards.  My head and arms took most of the impact and my stomach never touched anything.  I was scared bc it was such a hard impact but everything was fine.  Babies are really well protected in there!

I was so embarassed I turned beat red and just started cleaning it up. I got to my desk and just wanted to cry and then I called my mom and told her she started freaking out while I'm laughing at myself.  I couldn't believe I was so clumsy. I better be careful.

Thanks I will call as soon as I get off in 30 mins. Better safe then sorry

at 23 wks i tripped and took a fall downtown baltimore in front of a homeless man!!  he helped me up.  i have always been a clutz, but now that i am pregnant it is 10x multiplied!  thank goodness i only have about 2 weeks to go!  i never told my doctor about it because i broke my fall with my arms.  my belly was well supported and i know that the baby is very safe and protected in there.  however, i was still nervous.  i was still experiencing plenty of fetal movements and didn't have any spotting or other effects from the fall so i felt okay about it.  looking back to it i probably should have talked to my doctor.  but, all has been fine.  be sure that you are still feeling your regular fetal movements and to be safe, definitely talk to your doctor about it.  i am sure all is well.

Def. call your doctor. My mom fell with my sister and ending up having her prematurely.. so saying it because of the fall but a big chance it could have been.
