Unfortunately there's nothing that you can do at this stage but wait and see if anything happens. Try to stay calm-- your body , when it's pregnant can be an amazing resilient thing. It's job is to protect the little baby inside you. I slipped on ice when I was seven weeks with my first son. It scared the hell out of me but everything turned out fine... you'll be alright. :)

more than likely you are okay- the baby is still very small at 5 weeks, and very protected by your body. But at the same time you should probably let your doctor know what happened and maybe have a sonogram done to make sure the baby is okay. Call immediately if you have any severe cramping or bleeding!!!! try to be more careful... as the months go by your gracefulness will go too... well mine has at least... Good luck and congradulations your pregnancy

You're both probably ok. Call your doc if you're worried. So long as there is no spotting or cramping, you're probably fine. The baby is well cushioned in there. I fell at 24wks pregnant with my twins, directly on my belly onto a step (jabbed me in the belly) and we were all fine. Best of luck.

Call your doctor immediately! Falling can cause placental abruption .. which means the placenta (the babys food supply) can be broken away from your uterus and the baby can starve.
Call your OB and they will most likely schedule an ultrasound to look at your placenta!
good luck! God bless!

You can visit the doctor if you are worried. Chances are you are fine. Falling while pregnant is not that uncommon. It is difficult to balance the added weight. I fell too when I was pregant. I was scared but all was fine. Take care of yourself.

If your really worried contact your doctor. Let them know when it happened and they may have you come in for an ultra sound or internal exam to make sure everything is okay. Try to stay calm and contact them to put your mind at ease.
Good luck.

I fell with both of my pregnancies. Just watch for spotting and see a doctor if you cramp or spot. Best of luck to you.

You should go to the doctor to make sure everything is alright. Even if you are feeling alright. You should get your baby checked out.

as many other respondents have said, you and the baby are probably both okay, but it would be wise to see your doctor to make sure that all is well...of course, only time will provide the final answer.
