Understanding Straddle Injuries During Pregnancy: What to Know


Question
One of my friends is five months pregnant, and she fell while climbing a small ladder and got a 'straddle injury' she said her vagina really hurts, and there was a small amount of blood, but it doesn't appear to be continuously bleeding but of course she is still very concerned. feedback?

Answer
I'm not sure what you mean by "straddle injury." For me that would mean a groin pull, or inner thigh strain, or possibly pubis sprain. It sounds like you friend might have fallen on something, and bruised her vulva, yes/no?
But either way, she should see her OBGYN, just to make sure that everything is OK.
