if you fall you need to go to the docs asap, they are going to do an ultrasound and probably an nst to make sure the baby is fine. any kind of fall can affect your baby.

Always get checked out by your doctor if you have had a fall during pregnancy. But you shouldn't worry too much...the baby is in the most sophisticated, shock absorbing environment in the world. Your body protects the baby very well...even if you took a tumble.
Make sure to see the doctor, but you should be fine! Pregnant women are pretty clumsy...most of us have taken a couple falls!

how far along are you. You don't need to worry unless you are really big and hit the baby when you fell. If you are under 4 months the baby is would have just sloshed aroudn and will be fine. I fell at 16 weeks really hard and was fine

when i was like 7 mos i fell down a flight of wet slippery stairs and my son was fine i just went to the dr and they did an ultrasound as long as your not have fluid leaking or pain your baby is protected by Gods creation in the uterus but it wont hurt to let the doctor know and see what they say

the main worry is rupturing the membranes.... so just make sure there isn't any fluid leaking or spotting in the next few hours.. the odds of causing any brain damage or worse...a miscarriage is very very little. Take it easy for a little while and try not to stress too much (it'll cause contractions that could further damage your membranes). Best of luck to you and your little one.

Unless you fell like from a 2nd story window, I wouldn't worry. (But you're pregnant and all you're probably doing is worrying right!)
But trust me there's so much cushion and fluid protecting that little miracle that he or she is just fine. Trust me, you hurt your own self 100 times more than they even know about.
Think of it this way, would a cadillac notice that it ran over a pebble?? Ummm, not really. :)
Good luck and God bless you all!

don't sweat it i have fallen twice during my pregnancy if your not that far along you can't hurt the baby because the baby's not that big to cause any injury to him or her at least thats what my doctor told me the first time i fell

You should at least go to the doctor.
