So clumsy...anyone else?

I am almost 31 weeks and have noticed I am so clumsy....knocking things over, spilling things etc....

Anyone else experiencing this?

Yes!!! I had the same problem when I was pregnant with my twins. Most of the time things kept falling off from my hands and I couldn't bent to pick them up 😤😔😃. Even now after 14 months from giving birth I still think that I cannot bend 😂😂 even though is not the case anymore. Enjoy your pregnancy ♥️ take care 💕

Yes, I had this. There's the general size of us(!) in the later stages that I found meant I accidentally knocked things and misjudged spaces (I constantly got wedged getting out of the car). But also I was very clumsy and for the first time ever dropped and smashed my phone - it was like my hands weren't speaking with my brain properly and I went from holding it normally to sort of throwing it about in the air like I was trying to keep hold of a wriggling fish! Then I went to prenatal pilates and discovered I had zero balance and just lifting one foot off the ground a little (which I had scoffed at as an actual exercise) was impossible - it wasn't just me either, there were pregnant ladies at different stages toppling all over the place, it was chaos... I could also tip sideways standing still. Oh and I fell backwards while unwisely squatting to take a photo and got stuck on my back like a turtle, and I fell off the couch reaching for the remote... I think it's something to do with all your joints relaxing and becoming more fluid, coupled with hormones making you dizzy. It even made me anxious that I would drop the baby when it came but I didn't

Ah no - sounds like you went through it all! I hope it goes away after birth - I don't remember this first time around.

completely normal apparently as your neurological system makes changes x

Thanks everyone - I thought I was totally losing it!

Need to upgrade my mop if I have another few months of spilling everything! 😀
