I was carrying my LO downstairs this morning and fell coming down the stairs. This is like the fifth time this pregnancy.
I slipped on a magazine I left on the stairs, so it's my own darn fault. LO is fine of course
Everything is okay, my tailbone hurts I can feel Baby Girl moving around as much as ever.
Should I call the doctor though? I have an OB appt on Tuesday afternoon.

OMG!!!! PLEASE BE CAREFUL and hold onto the railing when you come down the stairs!
I would call if your baby isn't moving and if you feel pain. It doesn't hurt to call your OB though.
I slipped on black ice when I was around 30 weeks pregnant. Luckily LO and I were fine. Had a really badly bruised butt though.

I would call just in case. They will likely tell you that as long as the baby is still moving around not to worry... but just for peace of mind you might as well call. Can LO go down the stairs without help? It's might be time to stop carrying down the stairs just for safety!

I would call. It never hurts to call, that's what they're there for! Even if it's just to give you peace of mind.

I have fallen in both pregnancies. Due to random searches on the internet, it seem like since I was in the first trimester and didn't fall on my stomach, nothing they could do. But, if you are farther along, and it will make you feel better, I say call!

Ugh, that sucks! Sounds like you are fine, but maybe call anyways.
I fell leaving a doctor's appointment when I was like 29 weeks....literally fell on my hands in knees in the middle of the street. It was the last day that I wore heels in my pregnancy.
Be careful!

I called but the office was closed today. I will call again tomorrow morning and see if they want me to come in. She's moving around like normal though. My tailbone hurts more than before though.
I'm kicking myself because I'm the one who said that LO didn't need to learn how to climb down the stairs. It's time I work on this with him. He knows how to climb up, just not down yet.
