Will I have hurt my baby?

[MrsHuxtable]

I just sat down on a little foot stool which then collapsed underneath me and I ended up falling on my bum. Not a high or hard fall really, maybe 30-40cm. I'm not sore or anything.

Could this have hurt my baby? I'm 32 weeks btw.

I very much doubt it, they are well cushioned in there

No, baby will be fine. You will probably have a sore bckside tomorrow though! No more small stools - you are 32 weeks pregnant - you need big comfy chairs!

Babies in the womb sustain much bigger jolts than that with no harm done. It is natural to be worried but the baby is well protected in the womb so I am sure all is well.

I feel at 32 ish weeks as well in the bath. Ds was fine no damage done. He was well cushioned!

Thanks. That's what my head is telling me as well. I did still worry though. Will def not sit on that stool again though!

I'm sure baby will be fine. My unborn DS survived me falling off a cantering horse, though it was earlier on. If you do have any symptoms that worry you (cramps, bleeding, changes in movement) I would get checked out. Go straight to your labour ward. Actually, just go if you're worried even if no symptoms! Can't do any harm. But I'm pretty sure all will be ok.

my dogs yanked me over onto ym arse the other day - I have plenty of padding there, and then the baby's swimming around in fluid aswell, I doubt they feel a thing unless you actually land HARD on your belly?

a girl at my antenatal fell a few weeks ago and was told by MW as long as it's not on the bump and your bump doesn't get bashed it's fine
