Almost 8 weeks pregnant.. pulled muscle... worried...

[Em0203]

Morning all!

I am almost 8 weeks pregnant and I stupidly this morning reached for something on the top shelf in Asda... I felt like I pulled a muscle in my tummy/ribs and now I’m concerned... anyone done the same sort of thing and it’s been fine? I’m worried for the baby.. I feel a bit better now and not really any pain just a pulling feeling... any advice?

You don't need to worry, you'll be fine honestly. The baby is so well protected in there at this stage. I fell down the stairs with DD1 at 8 weeks pregnant and she was fine. Now pregnant with DC3 and at 15 weeks I got trapped around the tummy in the doors at the railway station (the ones where you put your ticket in) and all was fine. I did go to the doctor with the latter to get checked just to be on the safe side but all was normal and he said even with something like that baby is so well protected.

It's just a pulled muscle, and far far too high to be anywhere near the baby anyway. The baby is buried deep inside your pelvis and will be for weeks.
