caught bump on sharp door handle leaving a 4" instant bright red scratch/bruise about an inch above belly button. really hurt & felt quite deep. i've rubbed some palmers cocoa butter on it to try take some of the redness away. now belly is cramping to the sides & under belly button. should I be worried? have a consultant appointment 2mro at 10am anyway

It's probably fine, but ring triage and at least talk to a midwife. They are best places to advise you and if you have pain other than where you had direct trauma they might want to take a look. You won't be bothering them and it's be awful to miss something. Hope all's well.

cramping stopped abt an hour after but sort of cramping again. little one is rolling about so im guessing he's ok

Please ring up and talk to a midwife. Everything should be fine, but they might want to check you out, just to be cautious. Much better to catch a problem than not realize until it's more serious.
