DD is 10. She fell off the trampoline a couple of hours ago and landed hard on her bum, one leg up in the air. (Net velcro gave way.)
Anyway, she cried and said it really hurt her bum (for about 30 seconds), then got up and said she was fine. I suggested she (and her friend who's sleeping over) went inside and played quietly for a bit before dinner.
About half an hour after the fall, she went to the loo and found blood in her knickers. Not loads but more than a drop. It wasn't bleeding any more -she wiped with some loo roll and there was nothing there but she said she didn't need to wee any more and still hasn't been.
I've looked and can't see any visible cuts or bruises so hard to know exactly where the blood came from.
She's absolutely fine in herself, says it doesn't hurt at all and has no tummy pain.
I decided to keep an eye on her, check her wee for blood when she goes and see how she is tomorrow.
However I'm a bit churned up and wondering if I should have taken her to a doctor to get checked out? My rational side says she's fine and the bleed was minor and stopped by itself but my anxious mum side won't calm down.
