Oh no, I went cycling and didn't think for a second that I'm 12.5 weeks pregnant, and I crashed into the curb with my bike. Ouch, will that be bad?

    As far as I know, a baby can definitely be okay even after a bump. The impact must have been quite hard (even falling can be pretty hard). If you didn't have any pain and/or bleeding, there's probably nothing wrong, but if you're worried, just give your midwife a call. We can't be sure, but your midwife can decide whether an examination is needed or not.

    No worries! Your baby is so well cushioned in shock-absorbing amniotic fluid, your muscles, and your uterus that they really won’t be bothered by you cycling over a curb on your bike.
