37 weeks pregnant and fell down hard while carrying my 2 year old?
I am 37 weeks pregnant and I was carrying my daughter (2 in September) to put her in the car, I tripped and fell off the curb. I landed on my knee and face on the pavement. She seemed to land kind of on her back and I was sure she must have hit her head from the momentum, but since I fell face first, I was unable to see exactly how she landed. I had her in my arms the whole way down.
My mom and aunt checked her over right away and could see nothing wrong. I checked her constantly throughout the day and there didn't seem to be any bumps bruises or pain. Now that she is in bed though I am paranoid that I missed something and that sleeping might be dangerous. I just can't see how I could have fallen that hard and managed to not injure her or my baby bump. I am very off balance the last few days, probably due to my size and I feel it is unsafe to carry her anymore.
Is there any way she could be injured without showing obvious signs?

wow! so glad to hear your little ones are ok! i hope you are ok too :(
as far as your daughter she is probably just fine if she seems her usual active self and is doing the normal things she usually does. hopefully one of you aunty, mom or yourself did a thorough head and neck check for pain or swelling. and if she seems fine she likely is.
some not so obvious signs are tired sleepy more than usual, almost lethargic, which in the heat is harder to detect .. dizziness which is hard to detect in toddlers, balance, and memory loss are all classic signs of head trauma and should be a trip to emergency.
you are all so lucky!! hopefully your not badly injured falling on the face is never fun :(
rest up mama! let others run your errands! best of luck with number 2!!

Go to the doctor or hospital as soon as possible to make sure that you are OK. Please do not lift anything while pregnancy. It's very hard to carry more than 25 pounds during pregnancy.
