Fractured Ankle
I have recently fractured my ankle during my 6 weeks of pregnancy. Been using crutches to move around and I have not gone for my morning walks since then. Does being inactive harms the pregnancy. Also does using crutches effects the child?
I think it's best to seek advice from a healthcare professional so you know the possible treatment for your condition aside from using crutches. My wife also fractured her ankle while she was pregnant. We decided to seek advice from an orthopaedic clinic. Of course, we are also nervous because we don't want the treatment to affect our child at that time. We consulted with Dr Alan Cheung of International Orthopaedic Clinic; we told him we were worried about our child, and he assured us that the treatment would not affect our child. Good thing it was just a minor case.
