Falling during 8th month

Hello I am not pregnant...my sister is 8 months pregnant...and last night she was visiting me and slipped and fell as she was leaving my house! She twisted her ankle and fell to the ground...between the edge of my patio and the grass (about 1 foot at the most) She landed on her knee and elbow and hurt her ankle! I feel sick just retelling this story...it is her first baby...she went to the hospital and they hooked her up to the baby monitor...everything appeared fine but they told her to watch for any tightening pain across her stomach!

She has heard stories of the placenta rupturing from a fall even in the last month and the women miscarrying!

Does anyone have any advice or thoughts on this...I am worried sick and I know she is trying to put those stories out of her mind but I'm sure she is somewhat nervous!

Thank you in advice Jay
