The scariest was when they said something looked abnormal during the anatomy scan. It was brutal but everything turned out ok!

I fell down the stairs at 12 weeks - hard - it looked like I broke mah bootay, and I had pre-term contractions at 22 weeks.

I slipped on black ice at around 30weeks and fell hard on my ass.

I had a subchorionic hemorrhage at 9 weeks...only 2 days after I found out I was pregnant. with my first child. i'm fine now, but the experience kind of traumatized me still.

I've fallen multiple times on the stairs with both pregnancies. Last week, I burned my belly by (stupidly, accidentally) using it as a resting place for a pot of cooked pasta. Today I fell forward over a concrete hump on my way into the OB's office.

I am horribly clumsy. Scary when I'm pregnant.

I developed pre-eclampsia my last couple weeks of pregnancy, I cried every day worried for my baby. It was probably the scariest thing I've ever faced in my life.

Nothing to scary during pregnancies. DS's heart rate was really low for awhile (first pregnancy). DD had a dilated kidney, but we were never told until after she was born (second pregnancy- made us so mad!). Delivery was scary as hell with DD though because she didn't breath and only scored a 2 on the apgar test

I was in a 7 car accident at week 24 and I was on bed rest for a week.

At 15 weeks pregnant I passed out at work due to high blood pressure (or an anxiety attack as the paramedics called it). I was out for a while and had hit my head on the tile floor...I had to go to the hospital in an ambulance! After this event I had chronic hypertension my entire pregnancy.

At 20 weeks I went into pre term labor. After this I had to quit work and put on bed rest.

With my first, I fell (landed on my rear) while walking the dog at about 24 weeks. Severe pain at 39w when LO decided to settle onto my nerve and it was almost impossible to walk.

This pregnancy, severe pelvic pain concentrated on right side at 22w; this baby is also sitting on the same nerve just started earlier.

@MsMini-we have a Newfoundland too, they are such sweethearts

I've had spotting since 13 weeks most likely due to a cervical polyp which is not a big deal at all, but I've also had a LEEP so there is a higher risk of cervical incompetence. I guess I will just be getting additional ultrasounds to check my cervix periodically but it's still a little worrisome.

Spotting at 6 weeks and a low heart rate, MD had us believing that we would miscarry. I tested at a higher risk for Downs, and then in follow up U/S with Fetal Specialist they thought they saw a heart arrhythmia- so I was monitored through 34 weeks when I finally got an all clear.
I fainted twice, once on the train on my way to work (15 weeks) and then again at 20 week (in a not so graceful fashion) in front of 300+ people at a awards banquet for work in the middle of the CEO giving a speech about his resignation.
I also suffered from a severe kidney infection at 36 weeks (4 day stint in the hospital where I discharged myself because I was convinced they should be doing more for me and took myself to a Boston Hospital for second opinion) and eventually induced for Intrahepatic Cholestatis of Pregnancy at 38 weeks (this diagnosis can result in still birth) so I will be monitored closely this time, normally with ICP they recommend inducing at the end of week 36. Here's hoping this pregnancy will be uneventful and boring til the end

Nothing scary happened with my first pregnancy. With, my second, I slipped a fell forward at around 4/5 months of the pregnancy. Luckily I only landed on my knees, not my stomach. I immediately threw away those worn out shoes. At 32 weeks, I had some bleeding. I went to the doctor and found out I was 1 cm dilated but uterine wall was still thick. Luckily, I didn't need to be on bed rest.

@jholler25...yeah, at that point in my life all I could do was google. I had a horrible experience in ER and no OB at the time either, it was a real nightmare. Luckily, I got in to a dr who put me on Prometrium and saw me within a couple days. The original on-call doctor I called from the ER rec was not even going to see me for 2 weeks!

When I was 24 weeks, my mother in law took all the girls to New York...and I face planted in the middle of a crosswalk! I also had low fluid and a grade III placenta (at 33 weeks). By far the scariest thing happened after I had my LO...my old placenta didn't detach and I ended up hemmorhaging and losing 1200mL of blood!
