I fell down today...

I was walking the dogs and I've just gotten clumsy I guess... I'm always bumping into things and tripping lately since I'm so round!

Well, the little one got away from me and started running toward the neighbors yard. So I tried to step on her leash that had slipped out of my hand and when I did, I stepped on uneven ground, my foot folded under my leg and I twisted my ankle. Even though I fell foward, I managed to land on my hands and my body didn't hit the ground.

Anyway, I couldn't even stand up for about two minutes and now it's just a little sore (that was early this morning). There doesn't appear to be any swelling but I'm just wondering if I should have it looked at by a Dr because of the pg and the fact that your feet may swell anyway? Or should I just keep an eye on it?

Sandra, that actually happened to me as well but I landed on my back. Just to be safe, go to the doctor, I was fine but my dh took me inmediately, being paranoid too.

CAll the dr you can never be too cautious!

I'm sure you're fine but just be on the safe side and call the dr!

Sandra you poor thing!!

Glad you didn't hurt yourself, but like all the mommys have said maybe you should call your doc just to be safe!

Feel better!

I got soo clumsy when I was preggo, I fell down the stairs on my a$$ on night and couldn't sit for a week I hurt my tailbone so bad! and it scared the crap out of me! I hope you feel better!

Definately call your doctor anyway. Keep us updated

I fell down about 2 weeks ago too. DH asked me how did you fall and I have no idea. I was just walking and next thing I knew I was on the ground. I twisted my ankle so bad, that 2 weeks later it is just starting to feel better and is still slightly swollen. I figured if I could walk on it, it wasn't broken so I never went to the Dr, although I wish I had. So I would definitely call. I kept thinking tomorrow it will feel better. Hope you feel better soon

I fell once while preggo and went to the dr. just to be safe, they just check the baby's heart rate, etc...
I would go just to be safe, I am sure your fine
