A member asked:

11wks pregnant i lost balance and tripped over my kids toy and fell on my bum and side. no bleeding pain but i'm scared the baby is hurt... :(?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: At 11 wks the fetus weighs less than 2 ounces and is surrounded by fluid and membranes that cushion such blows. Falling from your standing height is unlikely to cause an issue. Spotting might suggest the placenta had moved or been affected but that would be your observable sign other than cramping.
