Took a spill this afternoon

[acemama]

I was stuggling to empty our kiddie pool this afternoon. While I was pulling and pulling on it I fell straight back on my butt with the darn pool. It knocked the wind out of me I landed with such force. OUCH! I felt terribly stupid since the neighbor lady was starring at me, but she didn't even say anything. I feel ok, except my back is sore. LO is moving around like always so I'm sure all is well. I just felt like sharing with those who may understand my balance issues

you poor thing! I'm glad you are okay.

When I was pregnant with my first child I fell forward while walking up some steps while on vacation with friends. I was sooo embarrassed at the time because it was at Va Beach and lots of people around saw me. I wasn't even that big at that point in the pregnancy, but very off balance.

oh no! I think this is a call for you to take it easy for the rest of the day and night

My belief is that it is inevitable that you will fall for some stupid reason at least once while you are pregnant. This is my third pregnancy and I have yet to disprove that theory. So join the club...

I'm sorry, I just have to laugh! I'm picturing you, tugging and tugging, then PLOP, perhaps with a bounce

It reminds me...my husband put a piece of firewood inside our (empty) kiddie pool which is sitting on our back porch, because he didn't want it to blow away in the storms we had recently, and I caught Ian trying to tug the pool out to the yard, and he couldn't get it to go! Between the log and the rainwater, he wasn't strong enough. So I"m seeing him doing that, but replaceing you in my mind...must have been a site!

Oh dear, I hope you are ok.

Oops! I fell down the stairs a few months ago, if it makes you feel any better.

[hipmummy]

Ouch, Hope you are OK.

be careful mama. isn't it funny how we still do things that we probably shouldn't???? hard to break habits and just sit on our butts all day!

[jimblejamble]

Eep, I plunked down pretty hard into a pool last month (my sister-in-law and I decided it would be a good idea to go down the slide in the kid section, where the water is no more than 2 feet deep and the bottom of the slide is several inches above the water...yeeeah I was not comfortable for about 2 days afterwards ). Not fun! Pack your bum with ice and feel better!!!

[dosergirl]

this stinks. i am very clumsy and i am surprised i haven't fallen.

take it easy lady!

Yup, that was basically me. I'm sure it was quite a site. I just sort of sat there stunned.
