16 weeks and fall

[LooLooBug]

So I'm sixteen weeks and lately it seems like anything that bumps me I fall. My dog bumped into and I fell to my knees. My husband accidentally tripped me and I totally landed on my butt. Is this going to hurt my baby?? I have felt the baby move.. (I think) a couple days ago but since I've fell I haven't. I don't know this is probably stupid but I'm worried.

Don't you know in ball room when a man drops a woman he owes her dinner. ;) lol. Sounds like your safe. :)

There's a decent amount of padding between your outside and the baby, but I know pure bloodhounds are rather heavy lol adding a lab into it's genetics probably makes it heavier too.... I would try to teach it not to jump if possible (i know, easier said then done!).  I'm not quite sure other than that sorry :-( I haven't owned a dog in years, but I'm sure someone in the forums can help lol

Yeah =)
What about a dog jumping on your belly? I have an eight month old bloodhound lab puppy and she tries to be a lap dog and will slam her body down on my stomach.

Awwww I think I'd forgive him then lol at least he was trying haha.

Hah well we were being a bit silly and trying to dance together.. I took two years of ballroom and he couldn't dance if his life depended on it. So its partly my fault for even letting him try to dance. =) but thank you!

You usually only have to worry when you fall on your stomach.  If you do call your OB asap! With that said, while pregnant with any fall rest is the best option afterwards.  If you start having moderate to severe abdominal cramping, call your ob, contractions, go to e.r., and call your ob, bleeding, same with contractions... E.r. and ob call.  Just try to take it easy. always remember if you're unsure call your ob, that's what they're there for and they've fielded all kinds of questions before lol. And tell your man to stop tripping you!
