Can a fall cause you to have a miscarriage at 5 weeks pregnant?

Question

i cant even believe that some people would think that i was asking to hurt my child deliberately! i would never try to do anything that could harm my baby. i had fell down some stairs and that is why i am asking.

Answer 1

Many people have answered this question and I tend to agree with the majority that a fall generally won't cause you to have a miscarriage. Now with that being said when I was pregnant with my first child I fell down a flight of stairs and had some minor vaginal bleeding. My doctor placed me on bed rest for about 3 weeks just to be on the safe side, now he's 16 and is great. Let's hope that your story also has a happy ending.

Can Falling Cause A Miscarriage

Answer 3

the uterus and embryo are so encased in your pelvic region that a minor fall would most likely not cause a miscarriage. I worked with autistic teenagers while I was pregnant and was kicked a few times really hard in the stomach in my first trimester and I did not miscarry.

That being said, every woman is different and if you have fallen and are worried you should consult your doctor.

Answer 4

sometimes a fall may cause miscarriage. Some times women have all kinds of strenuous things happen and still have healthy babies. My sister has 7 kids....she fell with each one and they all were born fine.

Answer 5

Probably not unless there was a lot of trauma. At this point in pregnancy the "baby" is really just a glob of cells that do not measure bigger than the tip of a pencil, and your uterus is still only the size of a lemon. A fall alone would probably not deliver enough impact to that small an area.

Answer 6

Yes very much so. If it fall on your stomach or something hits it pretty hard. You could have a miscarriage.

Answer 7

It would have to be a really bad fall. Pregnant women survive car accidents and don't lose their babies, so I'm hoping everything is okay with you or whoever you know that has suffered a fall.

Is It Safe to Have Sex During Pregnancy? If you're having a normal pregnancy, sex is considered safe during all stages of the pregnancy. So what's a "normal pregnancy"? It's one that's considered low-risk for complications such as miscarriage or pre-term labor. Talk to your doctor, nurse-midwife, or other pregnancy health care provider if you're uncertain about whether you fall into this category. (The next section of this article may help, too.) Of course, just because sex is safe during pregnancy doesn't mean you'll necessarily want to have it! Many expectant mothers find that their desire for sex fluctuates during certain stages in the pregnancy. Also, many women find that sex becomes uncomfortable as their bodies get larger. You and your partner need to keep the lines of communication open regarding your sexual relationship. Talk about other ways to satisfy your need for intimacy, such as kissing, caressing, and holding each other. You also may need to experiment with other positions for sex to find those that are the most comfortable. Many women find that they lose their desire and motivation for sex late in the pregnancy - not only because of their size but also because they're preoccupied with the impending delivery and the excitement of becoming a new parent. When It's Not Safe There are two types of sexual behavior that aren't safe for any pregnant woman: If you engage in oral sex, your partner should not blow air into your vagina. Blowing air can cause an air embolism (a blockage of a blood vessel by an air bubble), which can be potentially fatal for mother and child. You should not have sex with a partner whose sexual history is unknown to you or who may have a sexually transmitted disease, such as herpes, genital warts, chlamydia, or HIV. If you become infected, the disease may be transmitted to your baby, with potentially dangerous consequences. If your doctor, nurse-midwife, or other pregnancy health care provider anticipates or detects certain significant complications with your pregnancy, he or she is likely to advise against sexual intercourse. The most common risk factors include: a history or threat of miscarriage a history of pre-term labor (you've previously delivered a baby before 37 weeks) or signs indicating the risk of pre-term labor (such as premature uterine contractions) unexplained vaginal bleeding, discharge, or cramping leakage of amniotic fluid (the fluid that surrounds the baby) placenta previa, a condition in which the placenta (the blood-rich structure that nourishes the baby) is situated down so low that it covers the cervix (the opening of the uterus) incompetent cervix, a condition in which the cervix is weakened and dilates (opens) prematurely, raising the risk for miscarriage or premature delivery multiple fetuses (you're having twins, triplets, etc.)

Answer 9

If it was just a minor fall it's highly unlikely. If you're not bleeding you'll probably be ok. Check with your doctor.

Answer 10

If you have fallen and are pregnant, just make sure to have yourself checked out, try to lay down and relax...if you have any injuries, get checked out ASAP. Good luck.
