Just slipped down the last few stairs

I'm 15 weeks. I was walking down the stairs just now and I slipped the last few steps on my feet. It was one of those moments when I couldn't stop myself falling. I didn't actually fall over though and I was still standing at the bottom of the stairs. My foot really hurts now though as it took the full weight!

I just hope the baby is okay

You will still have got a fright! I was always told there is nothing wrong with ringing in to the maternity ward when out of hours, even just for reassurance. Hope all is ok.

I didn't hit my bump or anything. Well as I said, my feet took the weight of the fall.

Oh dear. I’d hope you’d be fine - they’re really well cushioned in there. I slipped down ten stairs when I was 20 weeks pregnant and landed smack on my arse with no ill effects which I hope is reassuring.

@EventNotInData That is reassuring. Sorry you went through that. I just landed on my feet. My foot hurts now though!

I fell down the stairs twice in pregnancy and baby was absolutely fine.

I fell all the way down the stairs while pregnant with DC2, was also physically carrying DC1 at the time and landed on top of him. Somehow all 3 of us were ok, but it was terribly frightening at the time. I hope you are ok OP, be gentle with yourself Flowers

I really wouldn't worry. The baby is currently about the size of an apple and it's living inside a great big fluid filled balloon, inside your pelvis.

Imagine holding a balloon full with fluid with an apple bobbing around in the centre and just how much force it would actually take to cause damage or bruising to the apple inside.

I fell up a metal set of stairs when I was 24 weeks and landed right on bump. Everything was fine, baby is sleeping next to me now at 8mo xx
