Did something so stupid at 30 weeks pregnant
This morning I was outside spraying off the patio with my daughter and I gave her the hose to help me while I was shaking out a rug. She started spraying me with the high pressured hose so I ran toward her to try and grab the hose and slipped and fell straight on the side of my left tailbone on the concrete. It was incredibly slippery since my kids had previously poured out bubble soap on our smooth concrete patio. I immediately had the wind knocked out of me and so I turned to my side screaming for my husband once I caught my breath. I couldn’t move for a solid 5 minutes. He helped me up as he was in panic mode. Once we got inside he laid me down on the bed, I processed what happened for a few minutes and the pain started to become excruciating to the point I was screaming and crying. Once I calmed down, the first thing I did was pray that my baby is ok. I laid there until I could start to feel him move around again, and he did. My mom then took me to the ER, they hooked me up to fetal monitors and checked to make sure everything was ok. They did and ultra sound and monitored him for a while.Thank god baby boy is perfectly fine, strong heart beat, and I’m not leaking fluid and my placenta is fine! I spoke to the dr and they did some tests to determine that I fractured my pelvis. I’m so sad and frustrated that I did did that, but I am incredibly grateful that my baby boy is healthy and ok! I can’t walk or put pressure on my left leg, but hopefully I will be able to within the next few days.
Edit: update, I’m doing better today, still lots of pain but I am currently using a walker to get around when I have to. Can’t bend over or lift anything but I have support from my husband and mom at home if needed. Using ice/heat and red light therapy to speed up healing!
