What Should Be Done After An Accidental Fall During Pregnancy?

Posted on Wed, 26 Oct 2016

Question: Hi doctor. I am 14+6 pregnant. Iv been so anxious over this pregnancy I don't know why maybe Coz it's the first one. I fell last week but slipped and fell on my bum. And since then Iv been so concerned I asked a gyna and she said I wouldn't need a scan and everything should be okay InshaaAllah.

I keep having these worries in my mind like what if there's no heartbeat etc and I get so worried. I have no abdominal pain no bleeding nothing so assuming evehrhtbjng is okay and nothing should be wrong hopefully. And I keep feeling my tummy if I can feel something but I guess it's too early

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX, I hope all is well at your end and of course I know all your worries and concern for this first pregnancy.
Just relax and feel comfortable there is nothing to worry as you never had any pain or discharge it bleeding after that episode.
Movements of the baby will be felt after about 6-8 weeks from now so don't feel anxious so early.
And if going for an ultrasound relieved your anxiety you can get it done as it is safe to have ultrasound as many times as needed.
Take care

Hi doctor I am experiencing really bad rash and swelling in the vaginal area it's so so itchy and it's gone so itchy and hurting what can I apply? Is fungcbact okay?

I think it's fungal infection also I'm getting a lot of like discharge thrush. Like when I'm sitting all of a sudden I feel a gush of water coming out and it was like white milky come out I think it's fungal infection. I'm scared to put anything like that? Do I take any medication or what?

Brief Answer:
Precautions advised

Detailed Answer:
Yes dear it seems like fungal disease only.
You can apply fungibact cream twice a day for 7 days and also take clotrimazole vaginal pessary 200 mg at night time for 6 days
In case there is no improvement with two doses then visit your gynaecologist for examination.
Avoid synthetic undergarments and keep the area clean and dry.
Use condoms in case you get intimate.

Ok I'm going to get that. First I thought the gush of discharge and that I was worried thinking did the water burst or something I was telling my friend and she said what if it's ur water? And I said it was white milky like I could feel a gush flow out and there's very bad odour. I will go buy these tomorrow. How do I use the vaginal pessary?

Also my panty goes yellow when I just wear it and not very good odour I'm experiencing such different things

Thanks doctor. I used fungbact ydy the itching stopped. Now only is white milky discharge and I feel like a whole lot is coming out. So I think it is an infection from inside I will buy the pessary on Monday and use it. A while ago I experienced like water coming out too no discharge just water.

It's not milky or anything I just felt water come out not a lot just a small gush of water come out? Could it be the amniotic fluid? It's clear no colour. I'm worried sorry doc I pester you so much and ask so many unnecessary questions

Answered by Dr. Manisha Jain (16 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Take precautions

Detailed Answer:
No dear, you can ask any question anytime to relieve your anxiety.
Yes this gush of non sticky, non foul smelling discharge can be liquor but so late after fall episode is unlikely.
In my opinion take a lot of rest and get an ultrasound done to relieve your anxiety.
Take pessary as advised and I hope all goes well.

Brief Answer:
Get an ultrasound

Detailed Answer:
I understand your anxiety and concern related to the pregnancy.
It is just anxiety and nothing else but still an ultrasound is a must to rule out any pathology and of course to give you assurance so that you are relieved.
Get the scan and discuss the report in case needed

Do you personally think something is wrong?

Hi doctor I have uploaded a picture. Of the colour of discharge then I am getting. This discharge happens while I'm walking and I feel something gush out there's no consistency it's just like that yellowish discharge

Answered by Dr. Manisha Jain (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Nothing but infection in my opinion

Detailed Answer:
This discharge in picture is typically seen in infected cases so take anti fungal treatment as advised.
I'm not much worried about discharge but this pain is bothering me a little plus your anxiety will be allayed once you see the beating heart of the baby.
