That is hard to say.. But I'm guessing that as long as she listens to the doctor and stays on bed rest, she and the baby should be fine.

That is probably why they put her on bed rest just to make sure the baby does not come early. At this point if the baby was born early she would be ok. I hope things go well for your friend.

It's hard to say. Sort of depends on how hard the fall was. If she's 7 months pregnant, the baby has most likely almost completely developed. I would be more scared if I fell at an early stage of pregnancy. I'm sure she'll be fine, but it also depends on the amount of stress inflicted on her. She should be on schedule if she's resting and taking it easy. Good luck to her.

my sis in law had a car crash when she was 6 months gone (amusingly enuf so did i) and at 7 and n half months out popped baby harrison!! bit small but ok. apparently the shock n worry of it all can bring on the labour. tell ehr to take it easy, n if u catch her doing anything harder than flcikin thru a mag stop her!! lol. i'm 30 weeks now n since the crash thats all i've been alowed to do!! so far so good...
dnt 4get, baby's r amazingly resisliant, not quite as feeble as they have us think!! lol. i've had that crash, food posioning, sum random illness where i culdn't decide wot end of me 2 put ova the loo...and yet STILL my baby's fine...just annoyin the hell outa me at 2.09 am kikin my bladder...grrr..lol
her baby MAY come early. but to be honest, she's so far gone now its not going to make that much difference

It very well could, that might be why shes on bedrest. If the baby does come early, it'll be fine, everything's developed by now, and it can survive outside of the womb. The next 8 weeks are mainly weight gaining weeks.

THERE IS A POSSIBILITY BABY MAY DECIDE TO ARRIVE EARLY BUT EVEN SO THE LITTLE ONE WILL BE FINE. BABIES FEEL WHAT MUM FEELS IE, HAPPINESS, SADNESS,FEAR,WORRY - SO TELL MUM TO BE TO MAKE THE MOST OF HER BED REST WHILE SHE STILL CAN, RELAX , ENJOY BEING PAMPERED (I HOPE SHE IS) AND THINK LOADS OF WARM,HAPPY THOUGHTS! I HAD AN UPSET 6WKS BEFORE MY SON WAS DUE WHICH LEFT ME FEELING VERY DISTRESSED . ANYWAY LESS THAN 2 WEEKS LATER MY WATERS BROKE AND DANIEL ARRIVED A WHOLE MONTH EARLY WEIGHING IN AT 7LBS14OUNCES!!! YOUR FRIEND AND HER BABY ARE GOING TO BE FINE. I HOPE SHE ENJOYS MOTHERHOOD - ITS THE BEST. MY SON IS FIFTEEN YEARS OLD NOW AND THOUGH HARD WORK WITH ALOT OF SACRAFICES MADE ON MY PART - HE`S THE BEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO ME IN MY LIFE AND IM GLAD HE CAME A MONTH EARLY . GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS YOU FOLKS

She and the baby should be just fine as long as she stays in that bed! Help her as much as you can, shop for her, do housework. One less thing for her to worry about. She should try and monitor the baby's movements as much as she can, and if she notices any lack of movement, unusual cramps or bleeding, she should contact her doctor or maternity unit straight away.

I'm not sure - but if they are both okay, does it matter. I'd recommend you go over there and try to help her out...Do laundry, help fix up and prepar the the nursery, buy diapers...cook a few meals for them...She probably is freaking out about not being able get it all done before the baby gets her and wold love your support.

It is possible, it all depends on how bad the fall was. Her doctor will tell her if he/she thinks this could make her baby come early.

It shouldn't affect the day the baby arrives but make sure she is in touch with her doc the minute she feels something isn't right.
