good lord. i just keep getting clumsier. today was definitely the worst that i could do. after parking at coquitlam centre i hopped out of my car, stepped down from the curb where i tripped over a speedbump and fell down :P of course, my only thought was for the baby, so i braced myself and scraped my knees pretty bad. it all happened so fast, and i was in the middle of traffic so i couldn't remember if i hit my belly or not. there were a few drivers who stopped to ask if i was ok, and asides from my throbbing knees, i thought i was fine.
less than an hour later i was back home and on the phone w/my midwife, concerned about the baby. it was probably just paranoia, but i thought my belly was hurting more than normal (baby had been very active this a.m.). anyways, my 2 options were a non-stress test at the hospital (but i'd have to wait at least an hour or two since they were busy), or get a quick check-up with my midwife at the clinic right away. i went for option 2. 15 minutes later she felt around my belly, but since my stomach was still "soft" and i didn't have any roadrash on it, nor did i experience any bleeding, she gave me a clean bill of health. she also listened to baby's heartbeat for a minute and reassured me that he was A-OK :-)
now i just have 2 swollen and scraped knees, and i've jarred my lower back even more. this baby better come soon...i don't know how much more pain i can endure :P
