Fell down the stairs -17 weeks pregnant

[TheFamousMrEd]

I Managed to slip down the last 5/6 stairs on a coat that had been left out by my nieces 🤦‍♀️ I’ve got a sore lower back/coccyx and arm, but nothing that feels too bad.

I’m not sure whether to contact the midwife as I’m rh-, and on fragmin and aspirin which increase my risk of bleeding.

I feel fine, but wanted to sense check with others!

If you are worried enough to write on a forum you should be contacting your midwife. Although I'm sure everything is fine why risk it

I believe the advice has changed BUT I used to have to get anti d when ever I fell due to being rh- so it might be worth a call.

I rang the midwife line and they sent me to the hospital to be checked because I’m rh- and on blood thinners and aspirin.

Hopefully it’s all fine!

Pleased you went in OP as the advice in my trust is to get checked every time if you're rh-

In terms of taking, try not to worry as that happens to a lot of us and baby is well cushioned in there! I fainted around 17 weeks and shredded my arms and chin but baby was absolutely fine.

Heartbeat all good thankfully! I wasn’t really worried about the fall itself, but thought it best to get checked because of the rh- and blood thinners.

Im just waiting for my anti d injection and then I can go home :)
