... Fell Again

in January 2011 Moms

Landed myself in Labor and Delivery on Thursday. 

I was walking up the stairs at work and my shoe got caught on a step and I fell right on belly. I was not holding on to the rails because my hands were full.

My co- worker had to drive me to the hospital 1 1/2 hours away. I was there 4 hours and they monitored both me and LO. 

Aidan is ok, which is great, me on the other hand I am so sore and have been in bed all weekend, no work til Monday.

SO thinks I should stop working, he thinks I am a danger to myself. This has been my third fall this pregnancy right on the belly =(

    Yikes! Glad you're both okay! Does your job require you to carry a lot? Or walk stairs a lot? Maybe SO is right!

    How do you feel about stopping working? I stopped 2 weeks ago and it's been great...I would think that if you are getting unbalanced, and the type of job you have lends itself to walking up stairs with your hands full of stuff, then it might just be worth it to be on safe side at home (although falls can happen there too! But at least you can take it a lot easier)

    I'm glad everything turned out ok (aside from the soreness). Pretty scary stuff.

    I would love to stop working now. Yes I feel very unbalanced. Carrying the binders up the stairs is uncommon, but to get to the bathroom I have to walk up them. 

    Maybe SO is right. And I should stop working, I was trying to save money but I guess safety first! =)

    I am glad that everything is ok too... idk if I could handle another fall.

    (Aidan is a great name!)
