Why do I keep bumping into things?

Question

I am a 22 year old, healthy girl with good eyesight but I keep bumping into things. For example, I will go to walk through a door and end up crashing into the frame. Not just occasionally, but about 10 times a day. My arms and legs are covered in bruises! It would be nice to have an explanation. I think it is somehow related to my spatial awareness.

I have only been experiencing it for the last month.

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

No your not hurting the baby at all, if you were or if it were possible to hurt a unborn child just by bumping into things the doctor would have already talked to you about it and there would already be all of these precautions out for all pregnant women. Just relax, your clumsiness is cause by the fact that the baby has caused your center of gravity to be off balance. Trust me I know, I'm 39 weeks and measuring 42 weeks so imagine what I'm going through!!!

This is something you should get checked out, especially if you notice it getting worse. It could be something simple such as being overly tired or clumsy, but just looking on here quickly on yahoo I immediately came across Aspergers, ADHD, ADD, and balance issues associated with MS.

I'm not a doctor, but better safe than sorry - and it seems that this could be a number of things!

Vertigo is a specific medical term used to describe the sensation of spinning or having the room spin about you. Most people find vertigo very disturbing and often report associated nausea and vomiting.

Otologic causes of vertigo:

Typically if the vertigo arises from the inner ear, it is severe and has associated nausea and vomiting. One common cause of otologic vertigo is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo BPPV. Alternate causes of vertigo originating from the inner ear include Meniere's disease and labyrinthitis.

Central nervous system causes of vertigo:

If vertigo arises from the balance centers of the brain, it is typically more mild, and usually has accompanying neurologic deficits, such as slurred speech, double vision or nystagmus. Alternately, brain pathology can cause a sensation of disequilibrium which is an off-balance sensation.


Disequilibrium
Disequilibrium is the sensation of being off balance, and is most often characterized by frequent falls in a specific direction. This condition is not often associated with nausea or vomiting.

Answer 6

You could have a minor ear problem, that throws your sense of balance off a wee bit. There are other reasons as well, but I would try a check up at the doc's, and in the mean time, give yourself a little extra leeway by moving a bit off from where you think you are going.

Answer 7

Feels like you've been cursed

try moving the things that bumps you last time and move them to a secure and safe area if this does not work, then look carefully on the ground (when I'm on public I keep my head down not to step or get a bruise on the ground sometimes)

Don't feel bad. Your baby is surrounded by a nice cushion of amniotic fluid. You would have to hit yourself hard enough to cause a significant injury before it would cause baby even a little discomfort. Be careful, though! For your own sake. Stretch marks are bad enough without bruises on top of them. haha

Serenie! Serenie! Serenie! (Beautiful name by the way) You say it might have something to do with your "spatial awareness"? Honey, you lost me somewhere along the line here. ?
Now, unless you live in a "House-Boat"...on rapid waters...then I can see this happening.
Or if maybe you are learning to be an ..."Astronauat"...and live in a spaceship...well, I guess you would be bumping into a few things too!
Okay seriously, you did menion spartial awareness.......(spa-tial or spa-cial.....relating to, occupying, or happening in space.

Sweety, I am "NO" Doctor, nor am I a teacher, but It sounds to me like your equilibrium could be off a little.
E-qui-lib-ri-um (noun)
1.Bodily balance
2.Emotional stability
3.situation of balance
4.PHYSICS: balance between forces
5.CHEMISTRY: state of balance in chemical reaction.
OR...maybe you could just be on your "COMPUTER" a little too much, too long, too late! HUH?
(P.S...it could be worse...you could be like me and not even know what "EQUILIBRIUM" mean't until I was 27 years old and married and "DIZZY" and my husband said to me..."Maybe your equilibrium is off", and stupid me said...This has nothing to do with my private part"! DUH!
Was I ever so embarrassed! I think my face turned 3 sheets of red!
Boy, with your "black-n-blue" marks and my face as "red-as-red" can get...We'd make a sightly pair, don't you think?
My dear, if you are worried about this...see a Doctor. That's the best advice I can give to you and it will ease your mind too. And not to mention the wear-n-tear on your body! GOOD-LUCK and May GOD and GOOD BALANCE be with YOU!

Do you feel at all dizzy? If so, you may have an inner ear problem.

Also make an appointment with an opthomalogist, you may have an eye problem that is effecting your depth perception.
