A member asked:
I am a little over 4 weeks pregnant, and was playing tennis tonight. i fell backwards very hard landing with a thud on my butt. can that cause harm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: At this stage in the pregnancy the fetus is very well shielded from external forces in the uterus. Your fall is unlikely to have caused any problems.
