broken leg & 6 months pregnant :(
I am 26 weeks pregnant with my second daughter, my daughter is 8 1/2 months. I was already stressing about having 2 babies so close in age and trying to prepare for that when I fell on ice and broke my leg and ankle a week and a half ago. I found out yesterday that I need surgery and won't be able to even attempt to walk for 2 months. I'm trying to stay positive but the thought of being under anesthesia (for the first time ever), using pain medication (for the first time also as I'm only taking Tylenol now for the pain) and keeping up with my daughter and welcoming another I am feeling depressed. I cannot leave my bedroom without an enormous effort and lots of pain and require someone to be home at all times to take care of my daughter which is breaking my heart. I felt guilty enough that she would only be "the baby" for such a short time and now our time together in these last months is tainted by my injury.
I have plenty of family and friend support and I know how blessed I am that baby was ok and to have the help that I do but I can't help but feel sad.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? Or can offer any words of encouragement? Thank you.
