Falling and twisting

My boyfriends 2 year old son pushed me while I was trying to climb over a gate. I tripped over the gate and fell. I don't know how, but I managed to twist myself to the left to avoid landing on my stomach. I am 26 weeks pregnant. I'm sure my baby is fine, but to what extent can you get injured from falling and twisting really fast? My left lower back, rib, and hip to knee hurt really bad and I'm limping a bit because it hurts to walk. I do keep getting a pulling type feeling in my lower stomach.

When things happen so fast,  it's hard to remember. Just tell them what hurts and they'll check you out and make sure your baby is ok. I'm sure babys fine :)

Okay, I find it kinda funny I can't really recall between when I started to fall and when I landed. But, I didn't hit my head.

What would they do though? I am just wondering if I injured my leg. I don't really remember the landing just that it was my side I hit.
