So here I was walking blissfully in the sun-kissed countryside when my pregnant brain failed to notice the temporary plastic lid covering a manhole and ...whoops! I disappeared in front of my husband's eyes. Thankfully he was there to pull me out but the shock was a bit too much for me. In a few minutes blue bruises down my leg, pain on my crotch, where I bashed myself on the way down, and pulled tummy muscles.
Despite no bleeding or contractions, I immediately went into panic mode. The emotional part of the brain took over and started thinking of the worse and ended up in the hospital. I am so hugely grateful to the maternal assessment staff who took me seriously and had me checked and thankfully both me and the "lil' reaper" (very unfortunate choice of nickname I know!) were found to be OK.
So lessons of the day: 1) look where you walk (dah!) 2) babies are super-protected, thanks to mother nature for over-engineering and 3) the hospital staff rock!

I needed a funny but also very serious anecdote on a Sunday morning after a terrible nights sleep xx I hope your feeling better and the bruises are going down xx
hope your feeling better, i had a fall about 3 weeks ago, fell off a patio chair off the grass verge behind me and landed on the patio area, instinct kicked in and i covered my belly, had some very sore arms the next day, i agree, i went to be checked out at the hospital and there was a huge wait but to settle my nerves the midwife on duty followed me into the loo so i didnt sit there worrying, the lady that checked me over also dia a very good job and was very lovely, i too was very happy with the car i received
