More embarassed than anything because I was in a public spot both times. I wasn't hurt and knew it was happening so I was able to brace myself both times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-while-pregnant#post-33578 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 09:21:33 +0000 Mrsbells 33578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, and I am trying to be careful. I slipped in ice the other day but managed to regain my balance and not fall. I try to wear sensible shoes and walk carefully so I hope I can avoid any falls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-while-pregnant#post-33573 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 09:11:14 +0000 T.H.O.U. 33573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Please be careful! One of my friends fell 3 days before she was induced. She was in a soft cast at first and had to have surgery when the baby was just a week old! She is really struggling to hold the baby now that he's here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-while-pregnant#post-33554 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 08:42:53 +0000 heffalump 33554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMamaBear: oh no! Jelly fish stings are painful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-while-pregnant#post-33547 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 08:30:24 +0000 MsMamaBear 33547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: LOL! I actually fell in the ocean this summer when I was pregnant AND got stung by a jelly fish in the same day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-while-pregnant#post-33471 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:52:35 +0000 owlmom 33471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tripped while walking my dog at 38 weeks and fell forward on my belly. LO was still moving like normal, and I didn't think I was having contractions, so I convinced myself it was fine and didn't call my doctor. That night I started to worry and called the doctor. I wound up in the hospital being monitored for about 16 hours. Turned out I was clueless and didn't realize that I was having pretty regular contractions. Everything ended up being fine, and LO didn't arrive for 3 more weeks. Moral of this story: if you fall on your belly, call your doctor immediately :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-while-pregnant#post-33458 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:38:43 +0000 chopsuey 33458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Maysprout: OMG! So crazy that your grams saw the baby kicking! wild! It's amazing how well protected babies are in our bellies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-while-pregnant#post-33452 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:23:52 +0000 Maysprout 33452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, several times. It was a very icy winter and I slipped several times on the ice but just hit my bottom so it wasn't too bad, the first time it happened I just sat there and cried.<br /> The worst was at my baby shower when I was 37 weeks pregnant. One of the dogs was on a long leash and got wrapped around my chair and then started chasing something. My chair got knocked out from under me and I went flying back in my dress. My grandmother said she saw the baby kicking while I was falling. Luckily baby was very active after that so we weren't too worried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-while-pregnant#post-33442 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 21:14:35 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 33442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally face-planted around 14 weeks on our steps. I was able to shield most of the blow with my arms, so I didn't worry about it too much. But I was definitely shaken up initially! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-while-pregnant#post-33419 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:41:06 +0000 Mrs. Armbender 33419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fell multiple times, TG there were no issues with the falls. Sciatic nerve was horrible and I would be walking along then poof right leg no longer controlled by my brain and down I would go. I never got hurt but that nerve was sure painful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-while-pregnant#post-33415 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:35:55 +0000 Mrs. Bee 33415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes i fell around 8 months really hard on my side on the concrete. had a huge bruise along my thigh and went to the hospital for monitoring, but all was well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-while-pregnant#post-33406 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 20:21:45 +0000 heffalump 33406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. But I was always so paranoid! I had some issues going into the ocean at nine months when there were tons of waves and a very uneven ground .... but falling into the water wouldn't have mattered much anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-fallen-while-pregnant#post-33362 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 19:31:45 +0000 chopsuey 33362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fell twice. </p> <p>The first time was at my aunt's house during Thanksgiving. I slipped on their wood floor and slid across the floor on my left side. HAHA. It was so comical :P </p> <p>I fell the second time at around 30 weeks. We had just had a huge snow storm and I slipped on black ice. Took my husband down with me. I really hurt and bruised my butt my thankfully my LO was fine. </p>
