Brief Answer:
Can wait, no harm

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
This is a common feeling I understand but be patient as it is good to wait till delivery date.
But in case she is very uncomfortable or feeling less of movement then baby is mature enough so you can opt for lscs anytime from now on.
Till then nothing to worry about bump or walk or mild pains which are common and is experienced by all.
Just keep a note of fetal movement and if that is fine all is well

Brief Answer:
Not much problem

Detailed Answer:
No dear nothing to worry in case she had no symptoms after the incidence.
But if at all she experiences sudden gush of water, severe pain or decreased fetal movements then visit your gynecologist for examination.
