Luckily my tummy wasn't touched, but I still worried what an impact like this had on the baby. I did a bit of research online first and the general consensus was to go in and be checked. I called my midwife this morning and explained that I had slipped down the stairs {wearing socks of course}. She asked me to come in within the hour. All seemed fine from her side, but she wanted me to pay a visit to the hospital for further checks. When we finally got to see the gynaeocologist at 4:30pm, he was a bit upset that I was only seeing him 18 hours after I had fallen. He said I should have spent the night in hospital with an IV and heart monitors. He did a scan and also sent me for a 30 minute CTG test. All seems well.
The Harries stair rule: 2 hands on handrail going downstairs, 1 hand on rail going up. One little problem--the laundry is up there and how does one carry all the cleaned and folded laundry down these stairs with 1 hand on the rail, let alone 2?
