I don't know what it is about pregnancy that makes you clumsy but I've got it.
Over the weekend, my grip just sort of loosened on two eggs I was holding to make french toast. I am always dropping my car keys. A while ago, I dropped a gallon of milk from the grocery store in the parking lot so it leaked all over the car. I've juggled my mascara brush, lots of pens, etc. Today, I just spilled water on myself.
I don't dare carry anything fragile these days!
It happens so fast but there has to be a reflex issue in pregnancy. Has anyone ever heard why pregnant women are clumsy? Carrie

There is a hormone that kicks in during the third trimester. I think it's called relaxin, but it softens the joints so that the pelvis and everything can expand during labor. I remember complaining to my doctor about jelly knees and she explained it that way.
Of course, I'm a klutz on a good day. I used my pregnancy as a convenient excuse. :-)
