FELL down stairs at 37 weeks :( UPDATE

[Dovey2012]

OMG I just feel down the stairs in my living rm about 15 steps on my ass. I bumped every step down and hurt my shoulder, elbow and pinky. should I go to the hospital to get baby checked? DH is gone

 

[sammy10kids]

You would be surprised at how cushioned they are but if you have any worries yes get checked out xx

 

[Saki]

I think you should get checked, better to be over cautious and safe even if your bum did take the fall rather than your bump! They can still check the placenta etc.

If you arent having any contractions and baby is moving, I wouldnt

 

[mommybear1977]

I would call in and ask. I fell twice with my first, they had me go in at 20 weeks to be monitored and the second time I was almost due and did not hit my belly so they said to just watch for any issues. I would call just to put my mind at ease, I hope you are okay!

I would get checked. But that's just me. It sounds like you got a pretty good jarring. But since you went down on your bum youre probably good. I hope you are feeling better!

I'd call hospital and seek their advice. No harm in getting checked - bette to be safe

 

[destynibaby]

i would go. it'd drive me crazy thinking what if..

If you are rhesus negative you will need to go in for an anti D injection. Even if not give them a call just to be on the safe side. I fell at 35 weeks and needed the anti D again and baby was monitored for a bit. Better safe than sorry.

Like the others say, call just to be safe. I fell on my hip with my 12yo and everthing was ok but you never know...wish we could have a window into the womb so we can see in there to make sure its all ok

Give the hospital a call and see what they say. Will save you a journey over there.
Sounds like you were very lucky. My friends fell down the stairs at 37 weeks and broke her ankle!x

 

[xangex]

Hope your ok, I've just fell up the stairs. Saved myself with me wrist and banged me knee and foot (practically put a hole in the floor) now I have a bruised arm. And oh laughed at me once he knew baby was ok haa

I have fallen twice during my pregnancy- first time I twisted and landed on flat on my back and got the wind knocked out me. 2nd time was 3 days ago I feel in a store on my hands/knees and hit my stomache. Both times this happened they wanted to see me right away for an NST to make sure bubs was okay. Its a precautionary measure..I would DEFINITELY call.

 

[Dovey2012]

I have bruised the inside of my bum and my vagina :S both are black. Now I have to switch between a cold compress and a warm compress. Pulled a muscle in my left shoulder and fractured my pinky. Hope this all clears before labor begins. Baby seems to be fine, heart beat was good, movements good and I have an ultrasound anyhow next weel so then we can make sure everything else is fine.

I'm glad baby is okay. As for your lady parts, butt, shoulder, and finger- I hope you heal fast! Sorry for this mess on your weekend : (

 

[charlie_lael]

Awww. Well at least there's no permanent damage done. Hope you heal quickly Hun.

 

[MandyV]

Glad baby is ok sorry u got hurt hope you heal fast!

 

[lillichloe]

glad baby is ok. hope you heal quickly. a bruised vagina and bum right before delivery sounds horrible. I hope your body is back to normal before baby decides to come!

 

[Dovey2012]

thanks ladies, guess its better me then baby.

I fell a few weeks back carrying my toddler down the stairs. I bruised my tailbone so bad they thought I broke it. Baby was moving fine afterwards and they told me as long as I didn't fall or hit my bump directly and have any vaginal bleeding all the padding covering baby most likely protected him just fine. Hope your okay and not to sore.
