Question: I am 24 weeks pregnant. i fell down accidentally. in the shock i couldnot recall which position i fell down. i am not sure whether i hit my belly or i fell down on my side. so should i go for scan or baby will be fine. Any symptoms to observe?
Brief Answer:
No need to panic
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
If fall was minor and you are comfortable as of now, there is nothing to worry. You will be fine.
Baby will be fine and you dont need emergency ultrasound scan.
If you feel giddiness or if there is bleeding per vagina / pain in abdomen , you need to see your doctor.
Most likely you will be fine and may not need to see doctor. Just take rest.
Let me know if you need anymore help.
Regards
