A member asked:
I'm 8 & a half months pregnant, i just tripped. i scraped my knee a little i feel the baby moving so should i go to the er?

Probably not: The baby is well protected in the amniotic fluid in your uterus. Unless you experienced a direct blow to the abdomen that was hard enough to cause bruising to the skin on your abdomen, your fall is unlikely to have hurt the baby. If you experience bleeding or a gush of fluid, you should go to Labor and Delivery (not the ER). If you are worried, go to Labor and Delivery and they will chec baby

Maybe: You should be evaluated if you have any leakage of fluid, decreased fetal movement, bleeding or cramping.
