Fell over...

[Roo3]

Was on my way outside through our patio doors earlier this evening when I tripped on the step and fell on my knees. I put my hands down to break my fall and don't think I hit my bump. Baby has been moving since it happened. I called the labour ward and was put through to the triage midwife who said that it sounds as though i've not done any damage as baby was moving pretty much straight after I had fallen and that I was to monitor movements over the next few hours which i have been doing and he's moving lots.
Still really shaken about it though. I can't help but think I've hurt him.

i think its the shock of it all your baby will be nice and happy in there i fell like that on my ds and it really scared me and i jsut cried and i dont cry at nothing even though i knew id not hit my belly it still freaked me out and even if you did hit the belly they are really well cushioned in there x

I fell down the stairs and landed on teh hoover on my bump with arms and legs either side when i was 31 weeks pregnant with my 4th, i left it 2 days before ringing the hospital after she still hadn;t moved i was too scared to ring and kept putting it off. I was sent straight up to labour ward where they monitored me and all was fine, they told me that they are so protected in there with muscle, water etc before even getting near the baby, which reassured me alot.

Thanks everyone. Am feeling a bit calmer today. Was definitely in shock yesterday after it happened - I couldn't stop shaking.
Baby has been moving lots today so am feeling more reassured. Also looked in my pregnancy book and it also echoed what you've all said about baby being well cushioned in there.
OH told me not to go jumping off any steps today!!!
