I'm 19 weeks pregnant and felldown the stairs a bit over an hour ago. I only fell down two or three steps and tried to hold the handrail hard so I didn't hurt the baby but I still banged my bump and side (and hit my head really hard on the other wall where I must have sort of twisted round). My husband was at the bottom of the stairs and rushed to catch me so I didn't fall down any more steps but I still cried so much because I'm worried.
I called the delivery suite for advice and they said to wait a few hours and come in if I don't feel the baby move or sooner if I blee but that really I should be OK.
I've only felt wriggles up until now though and haven't felt anything since the fall.But the wriggles have been sporadic and slight so how will I really know if I've felt anything??? I guess I just wanted to ask others what they would do/have done in a similar situation.
