Falling while pregnant

I fell at work (20w) on my knees and side and didn't hit bump.

I called hospital and they said it should be okay.

I feel anxious and just need some reassurance I guess

I fell down the stairs at 19 weeks. They said they were only concerned with stomach pain or bleeding.

I spoke to the sonographer at my 20 weeks scan and she said in her 32 years she had only ever had 1 stomach trauma that had a bad outcome (and it was a particular horrific trauma). But loads of falls, car crashes, etc and baby was always fine. Which I found very reassuring

Please don't worry.

I posted similar a couple of weeks ago as I actually fainted when I was out walking the dog around 19 weeks. Somehow managed to avoid landing on the bump but completely shredded my chin and hurt my hip.

Then last week when I was 21 ish weeks I fell over in the street so now have deep grazes on my hands and both knees.

It's so worrying but baby is very well cushioned in there. Mine is related to dizzy spells caused by low blood pressure so they're keeping an eye on that but baby is fine.

I feel and kneed myself in the stomach. It was fine. Baby is better protected than you think

I fell over last week (32 weeks) and landed on my knees and elbows - everything was fine

You'll be fine. Baby is very well protected. You fell onto your knees. If not pregnant would you be worried about damaging any other internal organs with such a fall?

I fell over and landed fully on my front at 25weeks . I was all bruised and panicked for weeks after. But my dd was totally fine thankfully.
It's very scary .

I fell over in Victoria station when I was 8.5 months pregnant. Commuters kept rushing by me staring. I couldn't get myself up and had to stay there until a station worker eventually took pity and helped me up. I couldn't believe how many people just walked on by. Baby was fine though. Just my pride that got hurt.
