Ugh, I fell down the stairs at 17 weeks on my butt.  I went down about 7 steps.  I was loading up my car to meet my husband about 5 hours away on a family trip.  So, I fell.  Felt okay.  No issues.  Then I drove 5 hours.  By the time I arrived, I was bleeding.  I got put on bed rest for a few days.  Worked out great because I could hide in my room rather than hang out with my in laws 24/7.  ha ha.  My baby was fine and I was fine but the bleeding of bright red blood scared me.  It only lasted one night.  And who knows, it was probably both the fall compacted by several hours driving in the car.  

If you have no bleeding, I would think everything is just fine hon.  good luck

So crazy that u posted this I did the same exact thing last Week hurt my arm and fell on my butt about 5 steps....I didn't hit my stomach I called my doctor because it really scared me she said that it should be fine....the only thing to look out for is spotting and make sure movement remains the same....if anything seems wrong u should call your doctor right away or go to the emergency room

If you landed on your butt I would go get checked. I slipped down the stairs but was on my feet the whole time, got checked just in case and everything was fine. But your butt is so close to baby, I would get checked just in case.
