I sprained my ankle tonight; I'm 8 weeks pregnant.?

Question

So...this evening I was rushing down our stairs and I forgot to take the last two and came down pretty hard on my ankle and fell. Believe me, there were TONS of tears and rolling around because of the intense pain. It's now very swollen and I can't really walk on it at all.

Just wondering if I need to do anything...should I go to the doctor's/ER tomorrow to get everything checked out? I'm incredibly paranoid about a miscarriage happening, due to already having one back in May. I have an ultrasound scheduled on Monday so should I just wait until then to see my doctor? Any input will be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I think if your feeling pain anywhere else besides your ankle go see a doctor immediately other than that I think your okay...But you might want to go to the doctor and see if you actually sprained....Good luck! ANd congrats on the baby!

Answer 2

If you're having no cramping or bleeding then you should be ok with waiting until your scheduled appointment for Monday.

If however you are having pains (other than in your ankle) and seeing spotting, then you need to go be checked out.  

Answer 3

I would recommend taking it easy till Monday. I don't see the need to rush to the hospital or the doctor's unless you're bleeding, and heavily, and have major cramps. You should be ok, hun.

Answer 4

I think you should go to the ER.. If you don't feel pain anywhere else, it's good but still you gotta get checked and you gotta get your ankle checked too..
