Minor fall - have I hurt my baby?

[Chocolateheaven123]

I'm nearly 30 weeks pregnant. I was putting stuff away a little while ago and tripped over my slippers. I landed on my hands and knees. Twisted my ankle but currently more concerned about the baby. Will it be okay? What do I do? But scared at mo that the shock of the fall has somehow hurt it?

If you didn't fall on your bump, baby will be fine. Even if you did fall on your bump l, baby is very well protected.

Babies are so well protected in your uterus! I had a bad fall (actually on to my stomach) with DD1 when I was pregnant and she was absolutely fine. Of course call your MW if you are worried, but it sounds like you are the one who needs medical attention. Are you ok? At the very least it sounds like you need frozen peas on the ankle and chocolate for shock.

Ouch, poor you! Did you hit your bump, or just hands and knees? The baby is well-cushioned in there with amniotic fluid, so if you didn't hit the bump it's probably fine (and probably fine even if the bump got bumped). but if you're worried, give your midwife a call. I imagine all is fine, but put your feet and your poor ankle up and have a rest.

Hands and knees. Just worried the shock of the fall might have hurt the baby. Waiting for midwife to ring me back now.

The shock won't hace registered so try to relax

Midwife called me back, as I have no bleeding/pain and baby is moving well, she said it should be fine. Also told me to stop tidying up and relax I'm now resting my ankle (still very sore) while DP brings me chocolate and drink

Thanks, just needed reassurance/peace of mind.
