fell down steps

So im 17 weeks and last night I fell down the steps on my bottom. I didn't hit my tummy or my head. Just slipped an fell on my bottom pretty hard about 4 or 5 steps. There's no bleeding or any different changes besides my butt bone is so so sore and hurts. I have a doctor appt Wednesday so I didn't call. I'm not too concerned about the baby being hurt. I feel like everything is fine. Has anyone else expierenced this during there pregnancy an they were OK after?

I fell belly first on top of a 2 by 4 at my parents when I was pregnant with my daughter. I was 7 months and she was fine. They can handle a lot. But talk to your Dr when you go in.

I fell down my basement stair with my first baby bit I was 23 weeks so I could feel the baby moving so I new everything was ok. I'm sure everything is ok there is lots of padding in there. I would make sure you go in if there is any cramping any pain or bleeding. Or if you to worried just go in better safe than sry.

I feel down a hole in our driveway with my toddler in my arms. I managed told keep her from falling and hurting herself & stop my tummy & bubba from hitting the ground. I destroyed my knee, ankle & hip & couldn't walk for a week or so but bubba was fine. Generally if there's been no contact to bub or your stomach you'll be fine :)
