Location: Texas | I'm sure ill get blasted for this but there's always so many helpful people thought I'd try here first. I'm currently 9 weeks and feel fine. Little run down and tired all the time. Well yesterday evening I got bucked off a clients horse. I landed on the lower right side lf my back and rolled onto my left shoulder and back onto my knees. Other than being more sore than I have been in the past and having the wind knocked out of me I feel fine. Then today I went to a playday and coached my clients. Didn't ride just walked and stood a lot. Well now I'm feeling a little crampy. Nothing serious or constant just a small cramp here and there. I don't want to go to the emergency room but am going to call my OB monday to see if she cant get me in and check everything out. My question is has anybod had a similar experience and if so what happened? I think it may be a combination of hitting the deck and probably over doing it today. Also just the thought of getting on a horse scares me now and this could end my small business ive worked so hard to build up. But idk what else to o other than send everyone home or to other trainers. Any ideas?
Please excuse any typos I'm on my phone

| The baby does not raise out of the pelvis till between 12 and 14 weeks so u should be ok even though I'm thinking maybe stay off clients horses. I have cramps till about 20 weeks with my pregnancies Def call ur ob but I wouldn't loose all of your sleep over it.. I'm sure your exhausted. I would be honnest with your clients if you have a good reputation it won't be to hard to start up again 8 months from now. People will recognize you do a good job and come back, word travels fast.

Location: In my own world | I got bucked off when I was 8 weeks pregnant. I didn't know I was to begin with. I was going to college at a school with an equestrian program and was allowed to ride up to the end of my first trimester. Doctor and college approved. But you never know so be careful |

Location: Southwest Minnesota | You are probably fine, just over did it. Rest, do as little physical activity as possible, drink lots of water. You can take tylenol but no ibuprofen. I would recommend laying on the couch or sit in a chair with your feet up as much as possible. If the cramping gets worse or you start spotting at all go to the ER. |

| I didn't get bucked off but the horse I was riding spooked and I fell off on frozen ground on my side. I believe I was only 6 weeks. I had a miscarriage. Will never ride while pregnant again. I hope your little one is okay..I would definitely get checked out. |

Location: NC | I didn't get bucked off or anything but I remember feeling kinda crampy in the beginning and even spotting a little. I thought I read that can be due to the fetus attaching or something like that... I did have a friend that got kicked in the stomach when she was a few weeks pregnant and didn't know but never had any problems. I am sure you are ok just keep it easy. |

Location: Where the stars at night are big and bright, TX | I had a placenta abruption when I came off my old horse first time ever in my life, at 8 weeks pregnant. I ended up on bedrest and pre-term labor drugs the entire length of the pregnancy and meds to mature her lungs.
Might call your dr. and just let her know what happened and what to watch for just in case. My abruption did not immediately show itself after the dismount. |

Location: Beggs, OK | I was just sitting at work and started having some spotting and cramping, my OB told me to go home and go to bed, drink lots of water, and do nothing at all. They had me come in the next morning for an ultrasound. That was the first time we saw the heartbeat, and when we found out we were having twins.
Each pregnancy is precious and should be treated as such. |

This. I'm just starting my second trimester with my second baby. My good barrel horse is leased to a girl doing Jr. Rodeo with him, and my colt is with a trainer. My babies aren't less important than ANY amount of saddle time. I know it is hard to put the horses aside, but freak accidents happen, and how would you feel if something avoidable compromised the pregnancy? That's the most important question I think. |

| I'm pretty sure she already made the decision to ride, I see no point in bashing or making her feel bad.
I have rode with all four of my pregnancies. I bled in the very beginning with this one, but it wasn't anything serious or riding related, I just stayed off for a couple weeks.
Your cramping could be the ligament stretching sensations. It's like cramps, but different. And the yucky feeling is typical mid-first trimester blahs most likely. Good for you for taking it easy and not freaking out. Stressing isn't good for the baby anyway.
Congrats!! I think Ill to celebrate the start of my second trimester with a little trail ride. |

Not bashing, just stating the facts! To each their own. If she (or yourself) can justify that her (your) riding is more important than having that little child so be it. She (you) is the one that has to deal with that. This is something that I could NEVER forgive myself for "having to" ride while pregnant. |
