I'll have lots to tell the midwife at my first appointment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-fell-down-the-stairs#post-2131705 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 05:50:52 +0000 blackbird 2131705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Scary! I fell around 20-some weeks and my ass and elbow took the brunt of it. A heating pad is fine as long as its not insanely hot! Maybe a warm bath, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-fell-down-the-stairs#post-2131652 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 22:55:04 +0000 coopsmama 2131652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh man, feel better after your fall! :sad: I hope it doesn't affect your pregnancy - I'm sure it won't at that stage since baby is so small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-fell-down-the-stairs#post-2131574 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 21:35:45 +0000 Grace 2131574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lady baltimore: I fell down the stairs about halfway through pregnancy. It's scary! But you'll be ok. Your baby has a ton of cushioning right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-fell-down-the-stairs#post-2131539 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 21:02:31 +0000 dc yoga bee 2131539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope you're okay. I was in the ER Monday, unrelated to a fall and She told me to use a heating pad for back pain. I told her the RE said I couldn't, and she said well yeah that's in the first trimester. So, she told me no heating pad in first trimester. I would get checked out for peace of mind! Feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-fell-down-the-stairs#post-2131331 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 19:13:11 +0000 lady baltimore 2131331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jedeve: My bum (thankfully not the tailbone!), mid-back, and arms took the brunt of it. Usually, I'd heat my back for any achiness.</p> <p>@oliviaoblivia: Thanks! I do think the worst of it was how startled and scared I was in the moment. I immediately started bawling, and took more than a little while to get myself together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-fell-down-the-stairs#post-2131328 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 19:11:29 +0000 regberadaisy 2131328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lady baltimore: ((hugs)) I'm sure everything is OK! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-fell-down-the-stairs#post-2131306 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 19:04:23 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2131306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Falling is so scary.

I will definitely keep an eye on things.</p> <p>@regberadaisy: I was only about 4 steps from the top when I slipped. :bummed: I only just got a :bfp: last weekend, so not far along at all.</p> <p>@MrsRcCar: I'm only five-ish weeks, so I kind of feel like, whatever's going to happen is going to happen. If the fall is going to affect my pregnancy, I don't think there's anything the OB could do about it at this stage, you know? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-fell-down-the-stairs#post-2131291 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 19:01:47 +0000 jedeve 2131291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would call! And feel better. What hurts that you want to out a heating pad on? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-fell-down-the-stairs#post-2131286 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 19:00:49 +0000 Truth Bombs 2131286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I would definitely call your OB </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-fell-down-the-stairs#post-2131256 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 18:49:08 +0000 MrsRcCar 2131256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lady baltimore: Call your OB office!!

How far along are you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-fell-down-the-stairs#post-2131248 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 18:46:22 +0000 Bao 2131248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used a heating pad during pregnancy, glad you are ok! Get checked out if you feel off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-fell-down-the-stairs#post-2131216 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 18:33:55 +0000 lady baltimore 2131216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If something seems off tomorrow, I will go to urgent care (I don't have a PCP). It's mostly my arms and back - I think it's just going to be some ugly bruises. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-just-fell-down-the-stairs#post-2131162 Thu, 02 Apr 2015 18:01:57 +0000 babycanuck 2131162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Go to the dr!
