Pregnant, Headbutt By A Child, Breath Knocked Out, Lower Pelvic Pressure And Pain, Baby Not Active As Before
I am 32 years old, 5 5 , 33 weeks pregnant and currently weigh 278 lbs. About an hour and a half ago, I was headbutted very hard by a 7 or 8 year old child. He came up to my ribcage and had a rather sturdy build. He hit me hard enough to knock the breath out of me. Since then, I ve had a constant pain in the location where he hit, and it hurts to take a deep breath or stand up straight. I m also feeling a lot of lower pelvic pressure . I called my OB nurse but have not gotten a response. Baby is moving but not as active as before the hit. Should I be concerned? Do I need to go to L&D?
