should i call my dr

okay well first of all i can't believe how clumsy i am. i am 33 weeks pregnant and yesterday while walking up the walkway to my sons school i slipped and fell i didn't land on my belly thank god but i hurt my knee pretty bad. and then this morning walking down my front steps i got light headed and fell i landed this time on the side of my belly and scraped up my elbow a bit so i got up washed my elbow off and got my son in the car and again i fell walking him up the walkway to his school and landed right on my butt. i am having a bad day lol anyway i am a little crampy nothing bad i have no bleeding or anything and the baby is moving i just am not sure if i should call my dr and let him know i have fallen three times within the past 2 days. i know the baby is well cushioned in there and everything and i don't want him to think i am a big baby i was just wondering what you would do if you were me.

Okay guys my client made me take a extremely hard fall today at work! I fell flat on my stomach... I just found out I'm with child.. I can't be no more than 4-6 wks.. I'm having unusual pains in my stomach area! Ackes and pains.. I'm worried of miscarry! Can the E.R prevent that? Or should I try to tuff it out and get over it!?

Call the dr.  at 33 weeks a fall COULD put you in labor.

Are you falling on ice?  If not,  that seems like a LOT of falling for such a short time period!  I'm more worried about your head getting injured -

If it's ice,  can you get some really good traction snow boots?  Sounds dangerous,  not just to the baby,  but to you too!

Best wishes.

I would see my dr too. I fell when around 30 weeks with my last daughter and scraped both my knees. (I fell over a bollard in the street which I completely missed due to the size of my bump!) She went very quiet in there and I got worried. I just went to the hospital to put my mind at rest. She was fine. It was me who felt more of a fool! I'm sure you're fine, but it just might be an idea to get yourself checked, especially as the dizziness may be a symptom of something else, blood pressure related or something?

I would definitely call your doctor, they will not think you are a baby.  Good luck to you! :)

I would def call your doctor. You should not be driving if you are getting dizzy and falling - even though the baby is ok - is not good for you.  Good Luck.
