How much of protection does my uterus provide in the event of a fall?


Your pelvic bones provide some protection, the muscles that line the wall of your uterus help to keep your baby safe and the amniotic sac and water acts as cushion. There is reason to worry only if you face severe abdominal pain, contractions, bleeding, or a leakage of the amniotic fluid or if you notice a decrease in fetal movements after a fall. In such a situation you would want to see your doctor to get a thorough assessment.
