Just needed to tell someone really
My partner is being amazing but I'm so worried, I was messing about as well so it's my own fault I fell so hard.
What an idiot Sad
Am going to bed and hoping it all calms down but I've had cramps on and off now since it happened this afternoon and the bleeding this evening.
I just want to know one way or the other if I've fkd up or not. Had a good cry before but mostly trying not to think too much yet. Cramps are same as they were at week 3, like distracting period pain but not needing painkillers.

It would be unusual for a fall to cause a miscarriage. How did you fall?

I fell down stone steps when I was pregnant with DD about 8 weeks. Cut my head, fell onto a large flower pot on my stomach. I went to A and E. I had awful bruising and aches and pains but was fine. The Dr said falls very rarely would be a cause of pregnancy loss.

Hope you are ok.

I was on a sledge.
Just passed a big clot (4am) so I presume thats that Sad

At 13 weeks I had a huge bleed with big clots. the baby was fine. Can you contact your pregnancy unit to see if they'll check you out?

I'm on holiday so am just coping until I fly back home, will go straight in on Tue. Cramps are still painful and still bleeding plenty but no more clots.

Please get checked ASAP. Hoping everything is okay! Sending hugs

Googled pictures of what passed last night and pretty sure its uterine lining. Bleeding is slowing. Just want to go home. 24hrs til our flight.

Just as a glimmer of hope, my midwife said to me that any fall bad enough to hurt the baby would be severe for mum (I was determined to keep riding as long as possible) so there may be light there for you?

@Sweetpeaormarigold If you have, I'm so sorry for you. Please don't blame yourself, I really think it would have to have been much more severe to have been caused by your fall, more likely a terribly timed coincidence. Beating yourself up about it isn't going to change anything. Sending love Thanks
