Minor fall at 21+1 pregnant

[effjade]

I had a slip and fall earlier, landed on my hip on grass. No impact to my tummy but it really hurt. I haven't had any pain in the tummy area but have pain on my sides which my partner believes is muscular pain. I have felt baby move a few times since it happened but he doesn't really have a set pattern (sometimes he moves a lot and sometimes not a lot) so I can't really monitor whether I should be worried. Should I be calling the triage unit? This is my first pregnancy so I don't know whether I should be worried or not? Any advice would be really appreciated!

It's probably fine but if you're worried then call, they would rather get you in and check you out to reassure than leave you stressing about it. I had similar at around 20weeks, a small collision in the car - the doctor used a Doppler to check me out and reassured me.

Thanks so much for your reply tweetypi. I called them and I'm so glad I did, she was so reassuring. Told me that because I didn't hit my bump and haven't had tummy pain or bleeding then I shouldn't worry, thanks again x

Really glad to hear that!
