During a conversation with followers, Cardi explained that she “slipped” while going down the steps.

“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 explained, via People.

She continued, saying, “I felt a weird jerk, like a pop, and I couldn’t get up really.”

Cardi said that she took a nap because she was only feeling “a little pain,” adding that it was “in the lower of my stomach.”

“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,” she said.

She was taken to the hospital where doctor’s learned that she had torn a ligament in her pelvis.

“It’s right where the baby’s head is at,” she said. “I dilated and I was having contractions for every two minutes for a whole 24 hours.”

The rapper was unable to move for two days. Even though she was released from the hospital, she was put on bed rest and has to go to therapy.

Cardi only recently announced that she is expecting a third child. She also revealed who the father is.
