I'm just coming up for 20 weeks pregnant. I slipped and fell in Sainsburys yesterday evening (the bastards had left the floor wet in one aisle with NO warning signs). I fell straight down with one leg tucked under my bum. It was not hard enough to even hurt me and I don't have any bruising or pain now.

It's been on my mind all day so I phoned the midwife unit. The midwife has told me that I sound fine, since I don't have any worrying symptoms like pain, bleeding or leaking fluid, which is good. She said only come in if I get these symptoms. So why am I worrying????

I have been such a worrier in this pregnancy. First time around, 7 years ago (at 23), I took everything in my stride and didn't doubt that everything would be fine (or at least if I did, then I was able to push it out of my mind). What has changed? The only thing I can think of is that DS was dx with very mild Asperger's in December. I guess the feelings could come from having that experience?

You're worried because that's normal Grin

I did think that perhaps it was my first pregnancy that wasn't normal due to lack of worrying (i.e. sticking head in sand which isn't healthy at all)!

Awwwww that's not nice :( As long as you haven't got symptoms like MW said I'm sure you'll be fine. I hope someone came to help you in the store and you gave them a good talking to; I'm not a healthy a safety nut but thats not good.

Don't worry :)
