trying to be positive, I think babies bones are quite soft when they are developing so probably quite hard to break or damage, otherwise babies would come through the birth canal all mangled. My DH pointed out that if I had broken the babies head or limbs then she would be unlikely to still be bouncing about as normal.

I am seeing my obstetrician on Tuesday so will mention it then. No point ringing him, as if I have done any damage then it is too late but at least he might be able to put my mind at rest so I don't spend the next 3 months worrying about it.

I am such a control freak I find it totally hard not knowing what's going on inside me!

And, if you think about what bubs gets squeezed through in labour.....I;m sure it'll be fine!]]> Wed, 28 Jul 2010 14:38:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34933&PID=1111580&title=could-this-have-hurt-baby#1111580 <![CDATA[could this have hurt baby? : If you are worried then talk to...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34933&PID=1111295&title=could-this-have-hurt-baby#1111295 Author: High9

If you are worried then talk to your mw.

But like MamaT said, and your dh, there is a lot of padding! I was forever smacking my bump on the door frame or kitchen bench! Bubs is fine

But when you start getting bigger, I found my ribs hurt a lot! Especially when bubs would stretch out. I always had to lean back in seats otherwise I got sore ribs or out of breath. ]]> Wed, 28 Jul 2010 10:23:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34933&PID=1111295&title=could-this-have-hurt-baby#1111295 <![CDATA[could this have hurt baby? : Your baby will be fine - I did...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34933&PID=1111292&title=could-this-have-hurt-baby#1111292 Author: Hopes

Your baby will be fine - I did a similar thing at about 30 weeks, and Bubs still seems perfectly healthy. My MW has assured me that they have plenty of padding in there and it's hard to break them

I totally know how you feel, though, it's so easy to freak out and worry - but I'm sure Bubs will be fine. ]]> Wed, 28 Jul 2010 10:22:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34933&PID=1111292&title=could-this-have-hurt-baby#1111292 <![CDATA[could this have hurt baby? : Your husband is right, there is...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34933&PID=1111277&title=could-this-have-hurt-baby#1111277 Author: MamaT

Your husband is right, there is a lot of padding in their specifically to protect your bub. Try not to worry, I'm sure your baby will be fine, all limbs intact.

Remember your ligaments and bones etc are all softening up at the moment so it probably hurt you because of that.

 

I was playing indoor netball up until about 20 weeks and took quite a big fall. I was quite worried about it but my MW reassured me that baby would be fine. As long as your still getting normal movements all will be ok.

But, perhaps give your MW a call just to ease your mind.

I know this sounds totally paranoid but have been really worried about it since yesterday. I am 27 weeks pregnant and my baby moves around a lot. I get a lot of movement up by my ribs and often when I wake up in the morning there is a lump between my rib cage which I assume is the baby's head, bottom, shoulder or something. I think I am what they call carrying high.

Well, yesterday I went to sit down on quite a low seat and did so in a bit of an awkward position, sort of leaning forward at the time. The baby must have been up by my ribs because as I sat down I was in the most excruciating pain between my rib cage, almost to passing out point. I felt the area and there was the lump, so the baby must have been pushed up right against my ribs by my sitting down action.

My ribs hurt for hours afterwards. I'm not bothered about my ribs but could the baby banging in to my ribs so forcefully have caused it any damage? If it was the head banging in to my rib cage, could it have hurt or bruised the babies head for example?

For a short while afterwards there wasn't much movement, but since then all movements have been normal and baby has been jumping about as usual.

If I had hurt the baby, would there be signs? I am now worried that the baby is going to come out with a broken limb or something. My husband says the sac etc gives protection but if that was the case then why did the baby banging up against my ribs hurt so much.

Told you I was paranoid...has anyone else had anything like this. I looked on the internet and people have had similar through bending down.
