5 Weeks Pregnant & Slipped on Ice

I am 5 weeks pregnant today and slipped on ice walking into work. I landed on my left hip/ bottom. My hip is sore and I'm sure I'll have a nice bruise by the end of the day. I know my baby is teeny tiny at this point but I just want to make sure there is nothing to worry about. Anyone have a fall this early?

When I was about 9 weeks pregnant with my son, I fell on my butt trying to get on my sister's hammock.  It bruised me up quite nicely, but no harm to the baby.  He's a super-smart 14 month old, so I guess it didn't jostle him too much! :-)  I am sure you will be fine, too, other than a nice bruise.

Yea, other than a bruise and being sore, you should be fine. I hope you feel better soon!!
I have a tendency to fall up the stairs (weird I know, I trip very easily in pregnancy) and so far with each of my pregnancies I've slipped down the last 4 steps in my house as well. It's ridiculous. But each time I just pulled a muscle in my arm (trying to stop myself from falling) and hurt my bum/hip.
Baby is very well protected in there.

Nicole, that is a good way to put it! I love that! :)

You should be fine. I did the same thing with my last pregnancy and the dr said only to worry if you have bleeding. She said the baby isn't fruit on a tree that you can shake loose. I always thought that was funny.
