Fallen hard onto stomach 32+3

[PT1708]

Morning everyone, I’m so so annoyed and upset with myself. I was rushing around late last night and tripped over my foot stool and went head first landing right on my stomach, extremely hard.
I burst into tears and panicked, I called triage and they told me to come straight in. They monitored baby for half an hour and his heart rate seemed ok, it didn’t help the state I got into as he kept jumping up to 190bpm.

The midwife didn’t seem concerned and had said if I start bleeding or if I loose any water, come straight in. I’m still really really concerned tho! My bump took my full force and weight (and I’m about 16 stone!)

I know it sounds so so stupid but I’m just paranoid even after being in triage I’ve hurt my little boy. The midwife had said his well cushioned in there but it just doesn’t seem that way 😫 Have any other ladies had similar and gone on to be all ok? I’ve sobbed all evening and it’s definitely not doing me or baby any favours.
I did the mistake and googled it to try and get some peace of mind, and my god it’s done the complete opposite talking about how baby’s have suffered brain injuries etc

I fell forward over a step onto a concrete path and managed to land directly on to my stomach. I was about 37w. I was checked out and monitored and told if anything changed to call back. Everything was fine and DD is nearly a year old. Your midwife is right. Your LO has lots of protection in there but I understand your concerns. Any change call the midwife’s

Thank you! That’s really reassuring. Honestly the hormones probably aren’t helping but I’ve spent all night sobbing thinking the worst.

My friend fell on her bump on concrete at roughly the same stage as you and all was absolutely fine! Totally understand how worried you must feel, great that the midwife checked you over and you know where they are if needed.

I've fallen with two of my pregnancies. Second one was forward onto my bump properly and both are absolutely fine! Don't ask why I was so accident prone, but hopefully let it reassure you that they are well padded in there. There is a good layer of liquid that will absorb and cushion the impact. You've done absolutely the right thing by being checked over and hopefully some stories of others doing the same and it all being fine will reassure you.

Thank you, that means a lot! Thats really reassuring to know. It’s such a panic! I thought to myself I’ve been so careful and I end up falling over a bloody foot stool! X

I fell down a hill onto the road at about 34 weeks (chasing a ball - idiot!), flat onto my bump. Baby was born at full term and is absolutely fine.

I also have a friend who was in a car crash and the air bag went off - her lovely child is also fine. They're very well protected in there!

Be kind to yourself - it's a very shaking experience.

Thank you ♥️♥️

With DD (30weeks) I was outside and the phone rang I ran in holding DS (1) tripped over the patio door ledge and fell tummy first onto tiled flooring. I broke a toe but DD (and DS) were both ok.
I was so worried though!
