Hallo.. someone pushed me and i fell on my back. am 5 months pregnant. could this affect my baby?

Not likely: Minor falls are usually not problematic unless it is directly falling onto your abdomen. However, sometimes after a fall you can develop some contractions and certainly if you develop vaginal bleeding you need to be seen ASAP. You'll probably be sore, so some tylenol (acetaminophen) and heat or ice on your back should help. Also, if the push was intentional you may need to report that to the authorities.
