Fell....Again! (Vent)

in 2nd Trimester
So last weekend I was walking on my driveway (which is all sorts of uneven and cracked) and lost my balance and fell on my left side.  I got checked out and just had aches and bruises from it.  So last night, while mowing the lawn I fell AGAIN,  right on my A$$.  I am beginning to think that I need to just be put in a padded room and left there until September!  If I fall again in the next week I am seriously going to wonder what has jinxed me....I am never this clumsy!  My DH even "yelled" at me about mowning the lawn....asked me what I was thinking doing that with no one else home at the time.  I asked him who else was going to mow the lawn when he works long hours and doesn't get home until after dark?  If we don't mow the lawn at our place, the landlord will hire a landscaper but our rent would go up to cover the cost.  We can't afford that! I am so sore today, and really didn't sleep well last night either.  Now I am sitting at work bumping, trying to distract myself from feeling like crap, trying to figure out how to last the next 2 and a half months with everything that needs to get done.

    I hear ya!  I'm on bed rest so I'm not supposed to be doing anything and last night my husband saw the dishes in the sink and said "What were you doing today?" I said "Eating" and he launched into a rant about how I'm not supposed to be exerting myself.  I simple said "I'm not supposed to eat?" and he realized how stupid he sounded... was I really supposed to go 12 hours while he was at work without microwaving some canned soup for lunch?  If we waited for someone to be around for everything we'd have to stop living!

    I fell this week, down a couple stairs onto concrete, and it scared the sh!t out of me :(  I'm not sure what my problem is, but I am so accident prone.  I'm really trying to be more careful.  I happened to land pretty well, but I'm sure if I had landed differently it could have been a bad situation.  I'm sore and have bruising.... but DH wasn't an asshat about it.  That would make it even worse! 

     Be careful!

    Don't beat yourself up, it's really common for pregnant women to become clumsier than normal. Your baby is throwing off your center of gravity! Also, you're a BAMF for mowing the lawn. I offered to do it for my husband but was relieved when he said no. Embarrassed

    I've actually read that the clumsiness is from the hormone relaxin that makes all your joints and body parts wobbly.  And if that's not true, that's what I'm blaming it on.  I fell down a few stairs a few weeks ago and smacked my leg off the bench in my foyer.  I had a huge bump and bruise that just went away.  Baby's fine but that's the scariest thing to me.  Falling, not pregnant, scares the crap out of me.

    I already quit wearing my heels... I was clumsy to start with and already it is 10 times worse. No idea what I am going to do in 5 months living in a 3rd floor apt... not looking forward to that at all. Flats are my friend this year!
