Stay at home in bed until your husband gets home and can drive you ... you should NEVER try to drive when you might be 'injured' especially when you are pregnant. But you should go to the hospital ER as soon as he gets home ... just to be on the 'safe' side.

Dr.s will tell you that if the pain intensifies or comes around to the front, go to the emergency room.
Don't worry too much...I once fell in a snow bank around the same time. I was stressed, but just glad I didn't scrape anything. Even the stress and embarrassment couldn't stop the pregnancy from continuing to 38 weeks.
Bless you

In these situations it's always better to be safe than sorry. At least call your OB/GYN to see what he/she says about it. Going to the ER might be the best thing to do though, if you call your OB/GYN then he/she might even meet you there. Just don't drive yourself, if your husband can't come right home to take you, see if you can get a friend or relative to drive you. You probably have a slight back injury, but it's always best to get the baby checked out too. Good Luck.

Call your doc...if they aren't open...go to the hospital. But don't worry..you might just be scarring yourself into having pain. Most of the books I've been reading say it is really hard to hurt the baby..even if you fall. The baby is surrounded by amniotic fluid (a great airbag system). So relax. But go see a doc asap....even if nothing is wrong it will make you feel alot better to know.

Stay home until he comes because you might have problems while driving and anything can happen will your pregnant. So if I was in your place I would stay home so he take there to the hospital and be there in case of any problems.

You most likely just pulled something, but I would go to the ER just to be on the safe side. Babies are pretty portected in there. Watch for spotting in your underware, that will be a sure sign that something is up.
I hope you feel better.

Might be best to go to the hospital to be on the safe side. You don't want to risk anything with pregnancies.

Call your doctor, if the fall was sufficient to cause lower back pain, then it's worth making sure your baby is okay.

As soon as he gets home, go to the hospital!!! The same thing happened to me, and I was actually havin' contractions.

If you have any contractions/cramps or any bleeding definitely go to the hospital. Otherwise call your doctor if you're concerned.
