I'm 12wks pregnant. i sprained my back this morning while lifting up my 35lb son could i have injured the baby in the womb? can't see a doc till tue

No risk for embryo.: Heavy lifting is generally not a good idea in pregnancy, but it should have no effect on a 12-week embryo. You may only take tylenol (acetaminophen) for your low back pain (+/- icy-hot patch to the affected area, as you wish). Take Folic Acid 1-5 mg daily and best of luck!
