It should be noted that in most cases minor injuries in anticipation of the baby are not dangerous to life and health. In addition, the drop in early pregnancy is absolutely no way threatens the future of the child. The fact that the uterus with the embryo is fully located in the cavity of the pelvis of the woman, which eliminates the injury even when falling directly into the stomach. In addition, the amniotic fluid that surrounds the baby. They represent a mechanical shock absorber, protecting the fetus from adverse consequences of trauma in pregnancy.

Despite the natural protection of the child in the womb, injury to the abdomen may cause complications that can lead to quite serious consequences. This is because in the fall the uterus is experiencing a significant concussion, which can improve uterine tone and contraction, leading to miscarriage. Note that after the second trimester of pregnancy it will mean a premature delivery.

It should be noted that in the first trimester it can lead to the development of a retrochorial hematoma. A drop in the second trimester can induce premature detachment of the placenta.

In addition, another negative factor is the nervous shock experienced by a woman during the period of the fall. The fact that stress is considered a powerful stimulator of the direct release of hormones and biologically active substances, which increase the tone of blood vessels and the uterus. Thus, this factor can be the starting point for the emergence of adverse effects for the baby.
