Bad Fall for Prego. :(

On monday I took a nice little fall on my butt down the last set of my stairs.
Don't worry though, baby girl is perfectly fine!
What really sucks is that because of how hard I fell, I ended up cracking my tailbone. :( Transitioning from sitting to standing and visa versa is probably the worse pain that I have ever felt in my life! It's like shooting stabbing pain if I used that bone in any way. I never knew until now how much you use your tailbone.It has been 3 days since my fall and the pain is still pretty bad.  Another thing that sucks is that I can't use a good pain reliever, Tylenol with a little extra kick is all that I can have. It only takes a little bit of the edge off. I hate taking it because it makes me feel all drowsy and tired. So I just wait until I go to bed to use it. What good am I if I  am sleeping all day? Poor Josiah would go stir crazy!

One of the things that was mentioned by the Dr.(who wasn't very fond of the idea of me not birthing at the actual hospital)was that I can be sore so long as to the birth of my baby. He was just a regular Dr., not an OB or anything like that. 
I called my midwife in tears, I was so glad that she was able to calme down and reassure me that yes I can still do this. 
Honestly both she and I don't think that the pain will go on that long. I think that he was just trying to scare me so that I can get a midwife that worked in the hospital. 
I did that already, and I wasn't too happy with how everything was with the birth of my son. 

His words were, "midwives are great, but birthing at the hospital is much safer than birthing at home(or birth center). If there was a problem you won't be able to get the care that you need right away.
Really? Is this what they are telling all women?
I have read enough books and watched enough documentaries to know better. I am happy with my choice and I feel completely at peace with all of it.

Anyway enough of that, I just wanted to let you all know what is going on. I can't drive anywhere and I am pretty limited to stuff in and out of my home. So getting out of the house is a no-go, unless somebody can be my driver.
