Totally lost my faith in the human race today.
Decided I needed to get the last bits for my labour bag so jumped on a bus into town. When getting off the bus the front wheels on the buggy got stuck between the curb and bus and as I tried to push it the front wheel flew off, and my buggy fell forwards leaving toddler face down In the road. I was trying to lift the buggy up as quick as possible and really struggling. Not a single person helped me lift the buggy or even offered help in any way!!!
Finally got buggy up, and got my son out - he was fine just said silly mummy crash buggy. I then had a buggy with 3 wheels that I couldn't push and a toddler + bags. Got my wheel, and closed the buggy down but couldn't lift it, so burst into tears feeling like I was going to be stuck on the high street forever. I physically couldn't carry the buggy and was stuck on the side of the road. Managed to drag it to a bench so I could sit down get my son away from the road and have a total meltdown. I was in floods of tears by this point and can't believe knowone asked if I was ok. If I saw a heavily pregnant women on her own sobbing on a bench with a toddler there is no chance I would just walk passed her! I called DP and he said he'd leave work and come and get me but it would mean waiting where I was for 2 ish hours. He calmed me down so i could think and in the end reminded me there was a can office not to far away so I dragged the buggy and got a cab home and threw the buggy in the garden where it stayed.
I'm not sure if it was added hormones but I kept crying for a few hours afterwards. Seeing my toddler on the floor with a buggy on top of him and me not being strong enough because of bump to help him as quickly as I needed to was the worst.
Called my mum (to breakdown again) and she ended up coming to my house and taking me back to the shops so I could get he bits I still needed. Luckily we are due to get the double buggy - plan was to buy it at the weekend when DP is home but have ordered it online today so hopefully it comes within 3 days as I'm pretty stuck without one.
It was horrible. My little one never sees me cry - don't think he's ever seen me in that kind of state, all day bless him he keeps saying mummy happy now and telling me not to worry (or not worried mummy) buy new buggy.
Horrible day

So sorry to hear about your horrible experience, justhayley. Can't believe no-one stopped to help :( I definitely would have stopped, what's the matter with people?! Hope your replacement buggy arrives soon, feeling stranded is no fun either x

Sorry to hear that Hayley sadly the human race does not surprise me with its lack of concern for others nowadays. Your little'un sounds like a lovely little lad .
