Fell down the stairs!

I was coming back down the stair from using the upstairs restroom and I feel down the bottom two steps and landed on my butt! :( I called my OB and they said I should be fine just watch for bleeding. I'm just scared has anybody else had this happen to them?

I fell a lot with my first baby because we had no car so we had to walk a lot to and from the store for groceries during an ice storm. Not fun but he was fine. With this one Ive already fallen in the shower but that was a couple weeks ago and hes still active and doing fine

Yes this happened to me several  times because my room was downstairs. Once when I was 10 weeks 16 weeks and again at like 22 weeks. After the first time my doctor kind of laughed at me for being so clumsy. I landed on my butt and Dr said it's fine s long as there is no blood.

Babies have a lot of protection in the uterus. If your doc says you should be fine I wouldn't worry unless you see blood and have cramping

My sister in law slipped and fell straight on her butt when she was about 30 weeks. (She's a bigger girl) It caused a few BH contractions but she was ok and my niece was moving fine. :)

I did too. How far are you? They told me to watch for bleeding but I was about 9 weeks or so. They say the baby has a lot of cushion when they are small

Ive heard people fell on their stomachs and they ended up doing fine. Just be careful and watch out for cramps/bleeding. Hopefully u and ur baby are both fine, good luck :)
