Advice please? Blow to the bump :(

Last night, Charlie (22 months) was playing next to me on the sofa, was a bit boisterous and slipped and slammed right into the side of my bump. I am 18 weeks but have quite a bump now as its my second baby. it didnt hurt drastically but has had a dull ache since. WWYD?

I'd call your midwife - she's the best person to talk to.  FWIW, bumps are actually designed as bumpers, so I doubt any harm was done (my LO went through a car prang and popped out fine).  I called the MW after, she was actually off work at the time and still more than happy to help. 

Thanks. i will give her a call, although her mobile is always off when I call lol(however she always gets a call when I see her!)

I understand that our babies are very well-protected from knocks and bumps in the womb. Have you had the blood tests for Rh neg?

If it was still aching, I would be on the phone for a professional in the area to reassure me, even though in all probability everything is fine.

I hope all is well.

I am neg blood group but had anti D within the last 6 weeks, so that will be fine, but thanks for asking...its good for me to keep in mind in my accident prone state lol!

Let us know what they say

Will do, have just been to the loo and that seems to have eased it a bit. Might hang on and see if it gets better now im up and about. I have got a doppler so I might try that too.
