Falling during pregnancy

[Wildfire1073]

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?

yeah I just fell an hour ago at the dog park. I'm 22wks and I fell on my butt and hip. Don't worry i'm not going back to the dog park, but is the little one ok? i dont have lots of money so im trying to keep the doctor visits to a minimum. Is bleeding the only sign of something gone wrong. There's no bleeding thats just what everyone says to look for. I felt him move like normal a minute ago. after the fall i immdeiately had to go pee. Any 100% signs I should go to the dr?

Well i have just went 14 weeks and had a pretty bad fall in which i took all skin off my elbow and both my knees. I too was scared about my little one but found everything to be fine (thank goodness). The worst bit was when people asked if i fell on my belly - i just couldn't remember. Doesn't matter know cause all is well. Hope it is for everyone else too!!!

I fell yesterday while going downstairs to place a dirty cup in the sink.  I was wearing a pair of socks when suddenly I slipped and falling on my butt while going down six steps.  My small back hurts but there are no bruises.  It hurts at times, but I still haven't seen the doctor.  My baby still moves frequently as usual, but I've been having headaches more than usual.  What should I do???

My sister was pregnant last year and fell on the ice right on her ass and had no problems whatsoever....remember, you can't shake a good egg!
