Fell on my belly yesterday- spend afternoon in hospital. UGH

Hi Girls,
   Well, I was changing my little guys sheets yesterday and the doorbell rang and I tried to quickly get out of his bed around the bed rail and fell. I had a good momentem going and hit my knees first and then onto my belly and ended up looking like I slid into homeplate. I was nervous so I called my OB just to find out what I should look for and he said ' I'm calling Labor and Delivery and you need to go to the hospital to get monitored right now."  So, I went and had to spend like 4 hours there and get monitored- good thing I wasn't in labor as there were no rooms available and I had to sit on the labor and delivery floor waiting room for almost an hour before a room opened up.  Frustrating.  However, it turned out OK- baby looked great and I had a few contractions and lots of uterine irritability on the monitors but I got to go home so yeah!  Hope you are all feeling good and staying on your feet!! LOL!

Yes, you do have to be careful- I learned my lesson the hard way on this one. Everything is fine though and I had my biophysical profile this morning and he looked great so I'm very lucky and very thankful!
