Falls

I fell over at 23 weeks pregnant, slipped over in our porch which i had wiped because it was wet and i didn't want to slip over. I rang triage and went for a check as I was worried. We heard the heartbeat and the lovely midwife reassured me and made me take the following day off to rest

I fell over a door frame at 33 weeks and landed fully on my stomach, my arms just didn't work to save me 🙄 got checked at triage and everything was perfectly fine, babies are very well protected in there, but if you're ever worried give them a call, they're always so reassuring 😊

I feel straight on my stomach in 3rd trimester. My LO was completely fine

However, are you aware that certain blood groups should ALWAYS get checked for some sort of injection if you have a bump? I cant remember precisely what it is though

I fell off my bike at 10 weeks pregnant and I was similarly beside myself with worry. I ended up paying for a private scan that afternoon just to hear the heartbeat and get reassurance!

Thank you so much everyone, I feel a little more reassured and called triage and keeping an eye on it🩷

So we moved into our new house in May this year and I have slipped down the stairs 3 times, once at about 12 weeks, once at around 22 weeks and then when I was just over 33 weeks

Our new house is spread over 4 storeys so there’s a lot of stairs and it’s quite old so they’re narrower than what I’m used to and I wear socks because I can’t stand walking around barefoot

Each time I’ve slipped I’ve monitored everything, informed my midwife and also rang 111

The last fall at 33 weeks I slipped from the top to the bottom of the stairs and it totally threw my back out for like three weeks, it hurt so bad

I never hit my stomach and it was mostly my bum and back that bore the brunt every time plus my shoulders/arms from straining trying to catch myself

I’m almost 39 weeks now and baby has been absolutely fine and there’s never been any bleeding or change in movement or anything which is what I was told to look out for

It’s so bloody scary when it happens
