Hi so basically today was walking home from the shop ( I'm 37 + 4 ) I fell over. I fell on my bum and took most the fall on my hand I think as it's all grazed up. I rang the hospital and they told me not to be concerned and I have felt him move since. Anyone else had a fall and everything been okay? Should I be panicking

Why would you be panicking if you never fell on your bump?? You didn’t so I wouldn’t think there’s anything to worry about especially as you stated you’ve also felt movement and the hospital are not concerned

You done the right thing by calling the hospital but theres clearly no need to panic x

I slipped and fell on my bum at about 34 weeks and was told to keep an eye on bleeding, pain and movements. I’m 37 weeks now and everything with baby has been normal since. I’d just keep an eye on things and ring back if you have any concerns

I fell down the last few steps when I was about the same weeks. I landed hip and hands, bump hit the radiator. I ended up going to the hospital later that day because baby wasn't moving as much, but he was fine.
He'll be 1 next month

I fell down some stairs after a yoga class at approx 32 weeks, luckily didn’t hit bump. Got checked by midwife to be sure but was all fine and baby boy is now 15 weeks and totally healthy! If in any doubt at all then get checked, even overnight, but please be reassured falls don’t mean something bad has necessarily happened x

dw I had a horrendous fall whilst pregnant - my dog (40kg) ran into me and took my legs out from underneath me - even though it was scary everything was absolutely fine with little one! so I'm sure everything will be fine just carry on keeping an eye on babies movements ❤️
