CONGRATS!!! I luuurved being pregnant.
I have carried five babies to term, and my general understanding was that I could continue doing whatever my body felt comfortable doing before I was pregnant.
As for a fall, in general baby is well cocooned and a fall - as in low speed tumble, shouldn't effect baby or the pregnancy at all. Even in a more serious crash, babies will often protect themselves/be protected.
Women can tumble downstairs, and still, somehow, baby manages to to stay ok even though mum is bruised - as long as forceful blows were not applied to her belly.
The problem comes if mum has had trouble staying pregnant, or has a particular medical condition, in which case she may be advised to stay away from strenuous activity...
Disclaimer: I am not a midwife or doctor, and this is only my opinion and my experience and shouldn't be treated as medical advice.

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".
