35 weeks and had a fall

I'm 35 weeks and had a fall today.  My service dog got startled and spun me around sending me flying and I landed on my back.  So far other then being really sore hips and lower back and only a couple contractions I think I am ok I will go to the hospital if I end up with more contractions I need this little guy to stay in for another week.  I have a four hour drive this weekend to go to my big family shower he is welcome to make his appearance anytime after I get home on monday.

I have another growth ultrasound in a week to compare to the last one I have managed to gain and keep on 5 pounds I was very shocked to see 199 on the scale this morning it was a good thing I guess the supplementing with 2-3 ensures a day has been helping along with eating normally

Anytime you have a fall, even if you don't land on your belly, you should definitely call your doc! Better to be safe!

Agreeing with Paula! You need to call your Dr and most likely go to the L&D to be monitored. My OB is very strict about that! Better safe than sorry! You may think everything is ok, and it may just be. Please call your Dr!!

How scary!  I have to agree with the others...You need to see your Dr. anyway!  At the very least call and see what they say and then go in if they think it warrants a visit!  Better to be safe and to know baby is safe!!!  Good luck...let us know what they say!

I'm seeing my nurse pratitioner tomorrow called her today and she advised me to just rest I am sore and moving stiffly baby is moving up a storm if he stops moving for a long period of time or the pain gets too bad I am to go to the hospital

Just got home from my appointment baby is just fine my back is a little bruised and will be sore for a little while just to keep an eye on contractions if I get any more and his movement his heart rate was right in his normal range so she isn't concerned just suggested maybe trying to use my service dog less until the baby gets here if I can manage it

Glad everything is ok!  Always good to get checked just to be sure!  The peace of mind is worth it!!  Just keep resting!  You're almost to the end...baby will be here before you know it!  :).
