Pregnant Cardi B Shares New Details of Accident, Reveals She Couldn't Move for Days After Tearing Ligament

The rapper recently announced that she's pregnant with her third baby

Cardi B is sharing new details about a recent medical scare.

In a conversation on X Spaces on Thursday, Aug. 8, the pregnant rapper, 31, described exactly how she felt "paralyzed" and "couldn't move for two days straight" after previously sharing that she had a "freak accident" that almost led to a pregnancy loss.

"I was going down the stairs and I slipped a little," the "I Like It" singer explains. "I practically fell, but I was trying to prevent myself from falling, so I was holding myself on the railing. My foot still slipped, and I kind of busted my ass."

She adds that upon falling, "I felt a weird jerk, like a pop, and I couldn't get up really."

After "screaming" for her dad, he ran over and "tried helping me get up and move out the steps." Despite his efforts, Cardi shares, "I noticed that I couldn't really walk, like I was feeling pain in my, I don't know, in the lower of my stomach."

Cardi notes that she's carrying her soon-to-be baby "a little low," so she's used to feeling "a little pain" in that region and just decided to take a nap after the fall.

However, Cardi says, "When I woke up, I couldn't move my bottom at all. Like, just moving my feet was hurting the bottom of my stomach. I couldn't move. I felt like paralyzed."

Unable to move and starting to panic, the singer took an ambulance to the hospital where she "found out that I tore a ligament in my pelvis and it's right where my baby's head is at."

"I dilated and I was having contractions for every two minutes for a whole 24 hours," the soon-to-be mom of three continues. "So they had to monitor me and I was in a lot of pain. I couldn't move for two days straight."

Cardi adds that eventually the doctors "sent me home," and they "not only put me on bed rest, but I got to do therapy."

"So stop playing with me. I'm not even a type of person to exaggerate anything," she tells those who criticized her for previously asking for more morphine from the hospital. "You don't even know what the f--- is going on or what I'm going through."

Cardi initially announced her pregnancy news on Instagram on Thursday, Aug 1, just one day after she filed for divorce from husband Offset, 32, after six years of marriage. The former couple shares son Wave Set, 2½, and daughter Kulture Kiari, 6.
