Posting here, not preg-type threads, because want widest range of views.
Think we had narrow escape on Sat, but medics a bit dismissive. My Sis is about 14 weeks; we were in the park with my DCs when she got hit in the back really hard by a football. The lads who had kicked it were really tearful & upset, so ever-stoic Sis swore she was OK, but I took her straight to A&E.
The staff were really helpful, thorough check, scans etc; pretty clear that, praise be to Him, the baby was unharmed. But it was pretty clear also that the tests were all to reassure Sis, and that the medical view was that it was impossible for a baby to be harmed by a blow to the back. In fact, the consultant actually said something along the lines of, "If it's a back injury before about the 30th week, as long as the mother is going to walk again, I'm not going to worry about the baby".
Don't want to tempt the Fates etc, but is it really the case that babies are invulnerable to back injuries? This whole question is beginning to pray on my mind, so would be really interested in views, opinions, experiences etc.
