omg what have I done, walked dd1 round on a pony this morning and now I can't walk!

[Enid]

it was a difficult pony and I had to work hard to stop it eating everything

I think I have seriously strained everything from the top of my knees to my waist - cannot bear to walk and standing on one leg is impossible. Am I completely buggered now? (38 wks pg)

Warm bath?

Hot water bottle always soothes my aches and pains

hot water bottle will try it

feel like I have torn something and baby is about to fall out

you ill again enid?

;)

go and lie down

I would sit/lie down BUT I would also speak to your mw to be safe....

Enid, you've probably strained your ligaments, they are loads more stretchy at this point of pregnancy. Get lots of rest today and take some paracetamol if you need it, should only take a day or two to be back to normal. In fact, you might even have helped the baby engage a bit by stretching everything.

Rest now so you're in tip top condition for the big PUSH!! Maybe you can be the first of all us May mummies!!

Hope you feel much better with a bit of a rest.

can't walk today am hobbling like old lady

midwife came out and has ordered bed rest

still baby is so far down its practically hanging out and seems to have turned into optimum birth position so not all bad
