Leapt and landed on my bump. Feel very silly and rather worried.

[BroccoliSpears]

19 month old was bouncing on the bed. She stumbled and was about to go crashing off and hit her head on the wall. Completely forgetting that I'm 6 months pregnant I dived (dove?) into a flying rugby tackle, saved her from tumbling and landed heavily on my bump on the bed.

How stupid was this?

Please offer (a) advice and instructions or (b) reassurances about how completely safe and secure and well protected little Broc Junior Mk II is in there.

[worried] [feeling stupid]

How far along are you Broc? I think baby should be Ok.

d'oh. Have just seen 6 months. Has baby moved since, are you in pain?

'Bout 27 weeks. Big bump.

Oh dear - isn't that what the amniotic fluid is for - protection against knocks and bumps. I guess the first question have you had a barrage of outraged kicks and punches from Broccoli Mk II? If not, then I'd suggest ringing your mw to ask her advice or even toddling up to maternity to get them to give you the once-over.

First of all all hail the hero Broc, leaping fearlessly to dd's aid!

They are apparently very well protected in there but I think if you have any worries the best thing is to speak to your midwife or call the hospital to get some reassurance. At least it was on the bed and not a hard floor or something!

The baby wriggled immediately afterwards but hasn't moved for the last 10 mins or so. It doesn't hurt.

I'm sure your fine . Babies are very well protected in there. Don't feel stupid either, if you're feeling worried ring the midwife, but if you have no pain or bleeding I wouldn't think there is anything to worry about. It's so easy to forget you're pg isn't it? When I was about 30 weeks I went for an involuntary sprint round our cul-de-sac looking for our dog, who had escaped out of the garden! Afterwards I worried myself silly, because I hurt myself. No harm done though!

An idiot crashed into the back of my car when I was about 30wks. My daughter was none too impressed - she kicked the hell out of me for hours afterwards. My adrenaline rush must have really shocked her .

Do ring your mw if you are unsure though, it's good to be reassured.

No advice or instructions for ye broc...

reassurance....i got given a huge bear hug by friend's husband when i was pg..he squeezed so hard i bent backwards.

Was terrified...went to hospital...just for reassurance really
was so .

Was informed that baby was well cushioned and all was fine.

Your maternity unit can check you over if you are worried. Mine stuck a heart-trace on my bump and I just laid there for an hour or so, so they could watch the pattern. I imagine that you are more shaken than your baby tbh.

Well - have lots of wriggling from LO, so am not going to phone midwife. I'd guess that wriggling is a good indicator that he/she's okay in there, wouldn't you think?

...wish i was pg again....i miss wigglin a nd wriggling

i hope all is well broc, sure you will be fine
if in doubt go to hospital wont you?

I will press the panic button at the first sign of anything 'wrong'.

Thank you all for reassurances, and thank you wellies for admiration re saving daughter from certain death slight bump to head.
