Cardi B has further detailed a scary “freak accident” that momentarily paralyzed her and could’ve terminated her current pregnancy.

As she first mentioned the incident last week on X Spaces, she returned to the platform on Thursday (Aug. 8) to elaborate. “I was going down the stairs and I slipped a little,” she said. “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 a**.”

“I felt a weird jerk, like a pop, and I couldn’t get up really,” she added, per PEOPLE. “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.”

After trying to sleep off the pain, the mother-of-two said that when she woke up, she “couldn’t move my bottom at all. Just moving my feet was hurting the bottom of my stomach. I couldn’t move. I felt like paralyzed.”

Cardi went to the hospital learned that she tore a ligament in her pelvis area, near where her baby’s head was positioned — causing her to dilate. “I dilated and I was having contractions for every two minutes for a whole 24 hours,” she explained. “So they had to monitor me and I was in a lot of pain. I couldn’t move for two days straight.”

The 31-year-old vaguely shared details prior and admitted that she was put on morphine to help with the pain from her fall.

“I came home, but I came home high as a kite,” she said at the time. “Today, I woke up sober, honey. I’m dying. If I don’t feel good in four hours, I’m going to the hospital and I don’t give a f**k. I’ma exaggerate this sh*t so I can get more morphine. Morphine me down! I don’t give a damn.”

The “Like What” rhymer announced her pregnancy last week, the same day it was also revealed that she filed for divorce from Offset for a second time.

“With every ending comes a new beginning! I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power! Reminded me that I can have it all! You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion!” she captioned her maternity photos.

“I love you so much and can not wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do! It’s so much easier taking life’s twists, turns and test laying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!” she continued.

Offset hasn’t spoken about the expectancy of his sixth child yet, but he did post a cryptic Instagram Story about an unspecified “jealous” person being a “sucka.”
