Accidental (indirect) impact to the belly 😥
I was fighting relatively mild nausea and exhaustion and zoned out yesterday during a physical therapy session, so I basically just said yes to everything the PT suggested during the exercise session with her. When we did the side medicine ball toss, there were a couple of hits to the upper abdominal region (belly button and above).
I stopped it when I realized heavy ball toss may not have been a good idea. But I also got cramps in the lower abdominal region when I went home and it lasted the past 24 hours. It's hard to tell if I was just gassy/constipated though - I was almost never constipated before the pregnancy, so I'm less experienced in how constipation would feel for me.
Called the OB, and the nurse didn't think a checkup was necessary today (my regular checkup is next week) because I'm not bleeding. I do have a headache for the first time since I got pregnant, which I'm worried about whether it's a miscarriage symptom. A woman at work said she felt like that when she lost her baby yesterday.
From your experience, should I be worried?

You would have started to bleed if it was a miscarriage. From my experience,
I believe you can have a headache during the miscarriage (actual process of it coming out or right before when cramps are too painful) but headache itself does not indicate miscarriage, you are probably just too stressed.
Only ultrasound can tell if everything is ok with the baby unless you have other symptoms, but hopefully everything is good.
I’ve had a headache almost daily and every appointment I’ve been told baby and I are progressing normally! Had issues with my asthma friday and went to women’s hospital, they checked me and baby and said I showed zero signs of miscarriage.
You should be early enough that your exercise shouldn’t have harmed baby!
