Suggest Treatment For Tightness, Hardness And Stomach Ache After Fall

I fell yesterday, I am 23 weeks pregnant and few hours after my fall my stomach began to hurt, it got rock hard and tight which I have never felt before. It eventually subsided but this morning I have a terrible head ache and cramping when I stand. Is my body reacting to my fall is that why I was having contractions hours later? Could I have caused damage in any way? Is there any way to know if I did damage that needs to be taken care of immediately?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
I understand your concern.
To have a strong uterine contraction after the jerk of fall, is the natural reaction.
But to have cramps after nights rest is a bit alarming. Three indicaters for grave trauma to pregnancy must be marked,viz-
- constant pain in uterus/ repeated contractions,
- blood/ watery discharge through vagina,
- less fetal movements.
You should rush to doctor & get yourself if you find either of these.
Even if there is no grave sign,it's better to consult your doctor & get satisfied.
Thanks.
