Should I get checked after a fall?

Hello I am 17+3 weeks pregnant.
I have just attempted to take the hoover upstairs and lost my footing, fell on my tummy and slid backwards down about 3 steps. No stomach pain at all, just a sore and bruised leg.
Should I get baby checked out?

OP, can you give your midwife a call to see what they suggest?

It might depend on your weight, where / how the hoover fell. Can you feel baby kicking yet or is it a little early?

I suspect that baby will be fine, as they're still tiny so well padded at that stage but it's worth checking with your midwife.

Yup give them a call as you maybe offered Anti D.

I fell in snow at 16 weeks and required it due to Oneg blood group and was bruised but fine.

Always check after a fall.
