Had a fall and really freaked!

[Islabella]

I was in the kitchen and just tripped! Over nothing! I fell flat on my face onto a slate floor and have badly bruised my knees and chin (fell flat down on my front, hitting my knees first then my face after)

I don't think too much of my stomach took the blow, I've had no bleeding but slight cramps since - although I'm not sure if they're just because I'm paying extra attention to the area.

Panicking im going to have hurt LO... How well cushioned are they? Should I go to A&E... I don't think they scan at mine and am worried they'll just turn me away. EPU isn't open until Monday morning.

Sorry to ramble - really worried. Any advice appreciated

I know it's hard but please try not to worry-- baby is veeeery well cushioned and protected in there I'm sure that your fall was minor enough and that absolutely no harm was done. It's a fantastic sign that you aren't bleeding too.
Sit down, relax, and watch some bad tv to get your worrying mind off things hehe x

How far along are you?

I'm 8 weeks. Feel a little better as still no bleeding. Face hurts though, ha ha. Can't believe I did it - thin air! Is everyone else super clumsy? Xxx

 

[LittleLala]

I've been clumsy- but honestly, I've always been clumsy haha. I'm forever covered in bruises everywhere that I can't even remember where they came from

Baby is very well cushioned, but if you are rhesus negative, perhaps there's no harm to ring your GP for advice. If your knees and face ( ouch sounds awful) took the brunt of the fall there's surely nothing to worry about, but as I am rhesus neg I was told to ring if I ever had a fall or bump so I could be given the anti d shot just in case. Hope you're not too sore...

I wouldn't worry, a couple of weeks ago I fell getting in the bath! Don't ask me how I did it I don't have a clue but a fell did the splits bumped my head, oh came knocking on the door coz he heard the bang and I'm fine baby is well cushioned in there!
