Are you getting clumsier?

I always have my clumsy moments but since becoming pregnant again it just seems to be getting worse.

In the last week I have knocked over a full cup of coffee onto cream carpet, knocked over the milk jug just by putting it down and the amount of times I go to put something down miss the surface and it ends up on the floor I have lost count.

I am getting too big to keep bending down to clean floors and pick things up.

Not so much clumsy but forgetfull!! it takes me around 5 minutes to work out what day of the week it is. and forgeting simple things like my keys or my mobile, i will also check what time it is then check it again 10 seconds later because it didnt go in! and yesterday i put the newspaper in the fridge! Smile im 29 weeks today and this started around a week ago!

Yes, not only am I knocking things over but also throwing things when I try to pick them up and move them somewhere else. I asked a friend of mine and she said its common in pregnancy. Better to get someone else to do things I think Wink

Yep - pretty clumsy here too! I am also clumsy by nature but it is getting a lot worse!

cinnamon i also throw things when i try to pick them up. it's almost like my body is not quite responding to the instructions it's given.

Didn't realise it was another pregnancy symptom didn't happen last time. oh the joy of pregnancy.

I spilt a yoghurt all over the sofa today, it went inbetween the cushions and everything. Thtas not so bad but it really annoyed me having to wipe it all up. I have also spilt my cup of tea this evening. I was just thinking that my memory was beginning to get a bit better but now feeling like clumsyness is going to be added to memory loss...oh well i've also been told it doesn't end when the baby is born so maybe I'll just adapt Hmm

was whizzing round trying to get ready for work the other day and on opening the fridge a bottle of brown sauce made a death leap out and smashed - hubbie was starting work later (and was able to get down to floor level easier) so v kindly cleaned it up.

Then today was meant to be last shift at work (I'm an A&E nurse) but as going down stairs I turned on my ankle and ended up with hubbie (getting up when he really wanted a lay in :() driving me in so I could find out I'd a bad sprain with a small chip off the bone - am guessing now I've got to slow down I'll maybe be a bit less clumsy (hubbie is def hoping!)

well loftyjen it is starting to get to the point when anything that hits the floor is staying there until dd can be persuaded to pick it up for me or dh comes in from work.

redcardinal i hope it doesn't continue after baby is born don't want to be juggling a newborn Confused
