Tripped over the hoover and fell on my knee with a quite an impact on carpet. Feel okay but just a little shook up and worried about baby. Nothing hurt my stomach as my knee took it.
Do I need to get checked out or will it be okay?

I’ve done the same thing today when out for a walk 🤦🏽♀️ cut my knee up but otherwise I feel fine and I’ve felt baby move as normal since then so I’m not worried. BUT, if you’re shook up and concerned then it’s always best to get checked if it’s going to put your mind at ease. I’m sure any medical professional would rather check you over ‘just in case’ if it’s going to help you 😊
sorry to hear that! I hope you & baby are okay. How far along are you?
I feel stupid for falling over, I’m quite heavy and only feel flutters. Can still feel them. Feel so silly for not being careful.

I’m 24+2. I am such a clumsy person at the best of times and feel like bump has popped this last week or so which seems to have made me even more unbalanced than I usually am! So in a way I’ve been expecting some kind of trip, very thankful my hands and knee took the full force though. If I’d have bumped my belly I’d have been straight to get checked out!
Glad you’re feeling okay! Make sure to treat the cuts. I’ve got a carpet burn on my knee but it’s alright with some savlon. Nothing to the stomach either so should be okay.

If the baby has reduced movements if you’re generally worried about them. Call your midwife xx

If you still feel baby. I would day you're okay. They're well cushioned.
Call your midwife if concerned, i fell the other week into my stomach and knee, and he was perfectly fine
