Falling during pregnancy

Ok guys how serious is falling when you are pregnant?  I took a pretty hard fall today.  I slid on the ice and landed on both my knees.  They are pretty bruised up and not much skin left on them.  I didn't hit my stomach though.  Any ideas?

Last night i fell down the stairs from the top to about half way and broke my 5th metatarsal in my right foot. I am 12 weeks 2 days. The hospital didn't scan me as i have my dating scan in 2 days. I didn't hit my stomach and have no bleeding or pain but still a bit anxious

I'm 17 weeks pregnant and just fainted onto concrete. :/
I've cut my left knee and hand pretty bad and my 7year old daughter said i landed on my left side..
I'm really scared and unsure of what to do as baby always sits to the left..
Any advice would be great x

I am 26 weeks pregnant with twins but when I was pregnant with my daughter I fell in the shower the night before I went to be induced. Everything was ok but  I had bruising on my back. When they put my epidural in they had a hard time because of it. Everyone takes a fall at some point in their pregnancy and the majority of the time you will be just fine.
