I would say, like any trauma late in pg, you should be evaluated and monitored for fetal well being. After all is ok, if you can safely get into bathtub, soak in Epsom salt bath

No need to panic. Is your baby moving as normal? Are you bleeding or leaking fluid? If no, then you are probably fine. You can call your doc and ask to come in, so they can listen to the babe. I'm guessing you are sore because it HURTS to fall on your bum, and you've got this big ole belly with stretched out abdominals that aren't supporting your back, so your back muscles might have been a little strained.

Get some rest, listen to the babe at the docs for peace of mind, and enjoy these last couple of weeks before your little babe arrives!
