Is it serious if a pregnant woman falls and lands on her butt?

After becoming pregnant, women need to be extra careful in their diet and daily life, but sometimes they may accidentally fall and land on their buttocks. In this case, if there are no symptoms of physical discomfort, no abdominal pain, and no vaginal bleeding, you can observe and do not take any action. If abdominal pain or other discomfort occurs, you must go to the hospital for examination in time.

What should a pregnant woman do if she falls and lands on her butt?

For expectant fathers, no matter the expectant mother falls while taking a bath at home or falling down the stairs, the first priority is to help the expectant mother up. What expectant fathers need to pay attention to is not to forget the strength of the force because of anxiety, and must not pull too hard to avoid hurting the expectant mother.

Although the risk of falling is not high, it is better to go to the hospital and have a doctor check it out for safety. The doctor will treat the pregnant woman differently depending on the part of her body that landed when she fell. The doctor will usually ask the pregnant woman how she fell and which part of her body was the first to touch the ground. Every expectant mother who falls falls in a different situation. Some fall on their knees, some fall on their backs, and some fall directly on their abdomen. Generally speaking, if the abdomen does not hit the ground directly, the doctor will let the expectant mother go home after examination; but if it happens to hit the abdomen, the doctor may ask the expectant mother to stay in the hospital for observation depending on the situation.

How to prevent falls during pregnancy

1. Take your time

Rushing, carrying heavy objects or holding a child are all risk factors for pregnant mothers to fall. Go slower - hold the handle when going upstairs; greet the driver in advance when getting on or off the bus and ask him to leave time for you; try to arrange your time as much as possible and don't rush.

2. Be careful

Carefully check whether the floor in front of you is slippery; try to wear flat sports shoes with non-slip soles when going out; problems are most likely to occur in bad weather, such as rain or snow, so it is best to check the weather forecast in advance. If you have to go out in such weather, it is best to be accompanied by someone.

3. Yoga

This is a multi-action sport. It not only enhances your body's flexibility, improves your balance and coordination, but also helps you balance your mood and channel your worries.

Usually the fall is not serious and you can just take a rest. However, you should pay attention to observe whether there are any abnormal conditions after the pregnant woman falls. If there is abnormal bleeding, go to the hospital for examination in time. Women must pay attention to preventing falls during pregnancy and slow down no matter what they do. Be sure to cross the road safely and do not rush to avoid accidents.
