I fell on my stomach today, but not too hard, and I'm 7 months pregnant. Now I'm getting sharp pains, and I'm not sure if I should go to the doctor or not.

Go to your Doc or to the ER. They can quickly check to make sure the baby is okay by using a fetal heartbeat/rate machine, ultrasound or stethoscope. Please, go soon.

I fell down the stairs on my tailbone when I was nine months pregnant, I called the doctor right away. The usually have an on call nurse available 24 hours a day. They told me to come in for observation. I had to have monitors on my belly for about two hours so the can listen to the baby and make sure everything was okay. Better safe than sorry. My baby was just fine but my tailbone hurt for weeks!

A visit for a check up would be a good idea... If there is a problem more than likely you have injured yourself rather than the baby ( a pulled muscle or bruise) Baby in utero are very well protected and riding in a cushioned water filled enviroment a minor fall is not likely to cause them injury....
But to put your mind at easy you should visit your ob/gyn for a check up then you will be reassured and able to enjoy the last 2 months of your pregnancy...

Go to the doctor it's better to know that your baby is fine than sit there wondering. And if something were to happen you would wish you had of went to the Doctor better safe than sorry. Good luck.

you should go to the hospital. When i was 5 months i fell down an escalator. I was sooooo scared something was going to happen to the baby. Thank goodness that he was fine. Just to be on the safe side, go get checked out. If something is wrong u will never forgive yourself

If you think something is wrong go get checked better to trust you intuition then ignore it and regret it later. good luck!

GO AND SEE YOUR DOCTOR - Nature provides lots of padding around the baby to safe guard from accidents like this happenning, but best to let a professional decide.

I'm sure your baby is fine, you'll hurt before the baby does as it's packed in there pretty good, but for your peace of mind you could call the doctor and let him/her know. I'll be thinking about you and the little one!

You need to go to the doctor if you are having any type of pain after your fall you should go to the doctor. especially if you were not having pain before, you could have hurt yourself or your baby.

I'd go check with a Doctor. But maybe also listen to your body. Does it feel that your baby is in distress or you're just in shock after the accident? I hope everything is ok.

Go to the doc or the ER, never mess with this stuff. Its better to go and it be nothing than to wait and it be something. Trust me I lost a baby from falling.
