I fell 3' from a ladder and landed on my legs then back. no cramping or bleeding or any abdominal pain. I did go to ER for sprained ankle and they asked me a few questions and had no concerns about the baby. I would just alert the doctor and let them know where you hit, but I'm sure you are fine. It seems like these babies are well protected....

So long as u feel okay ur probably fine but just call the doc and tell them what happened to be sure. They will tell you what to do. Like danni said, at 15 weeks, the baby is still pretty small and very protected by ur body and the amniotic fluid so Im sure its fine.

Ay 15 weeks the baby is still fairly small and very protected in the amniotic fluid and all that surrounds it. Do not stress out as this will do more harm than good. If anything was wrong I'm sure you would feel it with immediate effects. Just consult your doctor to get checked out. Good Luck.

Where did u hit when you fell?? at 30 weeks i fell and landed strait on the left side of my tummy which was exactly on my little ones back.. i fell so hard i got internal bruising. im now 36 weeks and baby is Fine.. i was lucky i fell at the hospital so i went strait to deivery suite and had 4 hours continuous foetal monitoring and a blood test to check for her blood going into my blood or a placetal rupture.. but it was all ok... She went quite for about an hour after the fall and i was histerical cuz i had zero movements but then i think after the shock of it wore of she kicked and kicked and kicked!! Im sure your fine but id still call the hospital or your doctor just to make sure! you dont wanna risk it... Goodluck

How did you fall? Was it on your bum? If it is you should be alright. I'd still give the doc a call to see what he/she thinks and it will help ease your mind. If you hit your tummy and hit it pretty hard I would consult the doc. Hope that helps.
