Yesterday I had an unsettling experience. I have always heard that pregnant ladies are clumsy and likely to fall more because their center of balance is off. And I have been wobbly from time to time. But yesterday I ate it on the sidewalk.
Luckily, there were lots of things in my favor to keep Caroline safe.
I tripped on the sidewalk as I was walking into my doctors appointment. I guess there's no better place to fall in case you really hurt something.
I managed to fall on my side, so I did not land on my belly.
I only have a couple scrapes and bruises.
They were able to find her heartbeat and she's been moving normally. The doctor said he would only be worried if when I stood up from the fall I had blood or fluid running down my legs. That would mean I had really done some damage. I was really shook up about it, thinking about how it really could have made things bad. I'm 35 weeks now and something like that could send you into early labor. 35 weeks is certainly old enough to survive, she would still have to be in the NICU for a while because her lungs are not quite ready yet. We want her to stay for at least 3 more weeks!

I'm so sorry, I know when I fell with Oliver in my tummy at 5 months, I was soooo worried, so I can't imagine how worried you must have been with that big old baby belly! Glad she and you are ok...Our bodies do a great job of protecting those little babies inside when we are clumsy! Love ya!
