I fell yesterday

I'm sure I am just being a worry wart but I need some reassurance that everything is OK.
Yesterday I was helping Noah pick up his toys and I tripped over his little ride on fire engine and landed right on my belly, I tried to protect it by bending my knees and elbows but I still hit ended up hitting my belly on the floor. It was a hard fall, some of my decorations on my entertainment center fell down and landed on me.
I haven't had any bleeding and my cramping seems to be the normal uterus stretching cramps.
Do you ladies think there is enough cushioning in there that the baby is ok or should I call my OB, I am 13 weeks.
Thanks

Hope your feeling better!  I wasn't on much yesterday so I missed your post, but I agree that baby is probably fine and you must have taken the brunt of the fall!

Awww Poor thing! I think the baby is probably pretty well cushioned in there! If your not spotting/bleeding and dont have bad cramps (other than the usual stretching cramps) then I think you and the little one are ok! Just try and take it easy for the next couple days! I know how hard that is tho with a toddler!

Aww, try not to worry; I'm sure the baby is fine. The baby is very protected in your uterus :) It is scary though. If it will make you rest easier, go get an ultrasound so you can hear the heartbeat :) Doesn't hurt!

i was in a car accident at 12 weeks and the emergecny doctor said at that point the baby is so small it wouldnt cause harm, plus there is alot of things protecting it at this point and down the road. if you have had no bleeding i would NOT worry!!!

The uterus is tucked under the pubic bone until the 12th week. Because you're only 13 weeks you probably just hit your intestines in the fall. Still hurts but I think you'll be just fine! It would take a lot to hurt them when they're in the womb, especially at this stage when they're still so small.

Sorry you got hurt!
