Fell on knees at 5 months

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?

All advice is appreciated.

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

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
