Hi this is my first post and seriously could do with a good rant and a bit of a pick me up and reassurance :(. I have very bad spd too the point I get up walk a little and my legs and hips give way and I fall too the ground. I am also 4ft 9 and currently 37 weeks + 3 days gone. It was wednesday night and my partner was not around and I was bursting for the toilet, I got myself up for the toilet and the way my flat is planned out my stairs is right next too my bedroom and bathroom. Well I managed too get up and slowly wobble myself along I get right next too the bathroom and I fall too the floor right next too the stairs :( I could of almost fell down them. Well that has scared me senseless! I rang for an urgent consultant appointment because I felt like that is a big enough risk as of anything! I seen a consultant today, I explained everything in full detail on what has been happening how my partner can't always be there and the fact my partner is also disabled and depends on me for a couple of things too. The consultant's reply basically was too avoid my stairs at all cost unless aided.. What happens if there is an emergency where I need too leave my flat ( you need too go down my stairs too enter and exit) and there is no one there too help me? surely my baby is much safer in my arms than having a risk of me falling down my stairs or falling anywhere in the flat that could cause damage too my son :(. I know its too early too be induced. But with wouldn't it be safer around 39 weeks?? I feel so fed up and scared and just think its unfair they are going too let this huge risk carry on. I see a different consultant next friday which I will be 38+3 and I feel like there is no point in attending that appointment either :(. Any other mums been through this or a similar situation??
