So I was riding my bike (mountain bike) and I ended up crashing, my thigh is all swollen and bruised, my arm has concrete burn, I have a gash in my ankle, and other scratches and scrapes. I am about 8 weeks pregnant, and I didn't land on my stomach or anything.. Do you think the baby is OK? I'm paranoid and really am hoping it will be fine and healthy.. Please any answers would be appreciated.
 
Everything should be fine. The baby is still tiny and is protected by the womb filled with amniotic fluid... it's like a built-in airbag. If you get any bleeding or cramping, call the doctor.
 
You are fine as long as you are not spotting. I fell flat on my tummy one week before my younger son was born and he wasn't hurt. My huge belly was bruised a little, but he was fine. If you do start to spot or cramp, go to the ER, but otherwise don't worry. And it would have happened pretty much right after if it were going to happen.
 
you should be fine! i was 13 weeks and passed out on my tummy and everything was fine!
