Call the doc - talk to the nurse. At least you'll feel better if you talk to a professional.

You were leaning over your bed, leaned too far and laid down on your stomach?

Yeah pretty sure you are fine.

You're probably totally fine. Your baby is swimming around in an "aquarium" (aka amniotic sac), and it's amazingly well protected. But call the doctor just for your own peace of mind.

Welcome to mamapedia!

If there is no bleeding or spotting - and you still feel fetal movement? You are fine...remember - your baby is behind a HUGE muscle and floating in amniotic fluid....I slipped and fell on ice when I was pregnant with my oldest son. I was fine. He was fine!

if it were me? I would lay on the couch and put my feet up. Call my OB and tell him/her what happened....they will probably tell you to relax...

Good luck!

You landed on your belly, and there was no pain? So...you hit the bed? The carpet? What?

I imagine you are fine. Your baby is wrapped in a big muscle, well protected. Unless you feel discomfort, I doubt there is a problem. If you feel discomfort, or baby isn't moving, call the doc.

If you landed right on your stomach, you should call the doctor. They might want you to come in. They will probably want to hook you up to the monitor to check the baby's heart rate and to see if you're having any contractions.

I'm sure that you are okay, but you can never be too careful when you are pregnant. Call your doctor and have peace of mind.

Call your doctor. They would rather you call for nothing than to ignore something and you have real problems. They won't be upset or angry if you call to ask them, that is what they are there for. It will make you feel a lot better to hear from your doctor.
I'm going to guess you are OK but I am not a doctor and even if I was, I am not there to see you.
Just call and ask, even if it's just to hear a professional tell you it's OK.

I fell face and belly first on hard ground at 22 weeks with my son. It was a summer evening, I was walking around my parent's back yard in the dark for some reason and stumbled on a small whole in the ground and went down. I was terrified as I'd hit hard, and went in to sit down. My Mom tried to reassure me but being my first pregnancy I called my doctor. He said unless I experienced contractions, spotting or bleeding the baby was more than likely fine, protected in the amniotic fluid and cushioned. He asked if I felt movement, I did, told me I would be sore from the fall, I was a few days, and to call if anything changed, it didn't.

If you're apprehensive call your doctor, but your baby should be fine.

answers from Hartford on

Do you mean on the bed mattress? The baby is so well cushioned in there that she should be perfectly safe. Are you feeling contractions? Feeling anything different at all? What does your instinct tell you?

You're most likely fine but for your peace of mind you can call your OB/GYN and she'll tell you the same thing. She should also tell you what to look out for regarding worrying signs.
