Fell off my bike and straight onto my belly- advice needed.

Well, this is embarrassing, but i fell off my bike today. It's NEVER happened before, not since i was about 5, so it really is sods law. I fell right on my bump, did manage to put my arms out which cushioned the fall a little and it was on very soft mud, but it really was hard and very fast.
I'm fine, baby moving normally, midwife said she'd see me if i wanted, but thought it wasn't really necessary by the sound of it.
Is there anything i should worry about?

Nothing to worry about. I'd still see the. I would still see the midwife to put my mind at rest.

Silly you! How are your hands?

The baby is well cushioned in there. If it prays on your mind see the midwife. It must have shaken you up.

However......I think this is why you're not advised to ride a bike in later pregnancy.

Just checking. Not rhesus negative are you? If so you'd need anti d.
I think I'd get checked out (like when I fell out of the back door and landed on bump! All fine.)

I haven't fallen off a bike but I did fall down the stairs at 17 weeks and everything seems fine since.
If you landed hard on the bump I would probably want to go to the Midwife for reassurance though.

To be honest, i would prob go get a scan to reassure myself all is OK. You will need an anti-D injection if you are Rhesus negative, otherwise just do a movement count for next couple of days.
