30 Weeks, fell down the stairs last night. OUCH!!!

[Ceolas]

One of the DDs had kindly left a star shaped ring on the stairs, which I didn't notice and stepped on bare-footed. Must have been a reflex reaction and my foot just gave way. Fell down half the stairs and landed on my back.

I sat with an ice pack on last night for about 20 minutes but it's agony today. Really sore in 2 places. Just above my coccyx and between my shoulder blades. Paracetamol not helping

Baby is OK I'm sure. Moving as normal.

DH is very smugly pointing out he always wears slippers round the house. Helpful...

Oooouuccchhh...glad it's not worse!!

Good reason to have a nice relaxed day!

Glad youre okay.

Don't do it again

Ouch.

Tell DH you just have to put your feet up today and since he's the one armed with slippers, he can do the chores.

Just make sure you did not break your coccyx. Remember that the baby adds weight to the impact. The one thing you can rely on is that your body will protect baby to it own downfall sometimes hot cold treatment might work, which means ice pack till it goes numb, hot towel, ice pack, hot towel...it encourages blood flow and healing.

I don't think I have broken the coccxy, spacepuppy. I can still sit down OK
