Just got in a car accident...grrrr!

laura&dan05 · June 2010

A car turned out in front of me. I slammed my break as hard as I could but it was too late. I had dd in the car and the dog (she always rides in her cage...thank goodness because it kept us all safe). Thank goodness we're all ok. I had the ambulence sent to check us out. The older guy that was at fault admitted he was tired, talking on his cell, and didn't see me! I was a mess crying my eyes out. My mom came because my car had to be towed and DH is OOT. I called REs office to see if there was anything I should do and the nurse said as long as I'm not cramping I didn't need to come in. My neck and arm are sore but no cramping. I'm resting at my parents now. My dog had to ride in the fire truck to the fire station because we couldn't fit her cage in my moms car. Lol! My dad is picking her up on his way home. I'm drained and hope my grain of rice is still snuggling in!

I am sorry this has happened to you. My suggestion...set up an appt with your PCP. You will probably feel worse tomorrow. You at least want it documented. I was in a minor accident and ended up with muscle damage and a 20% disability. Hurts every day, but I deal. I was glad I had at least gotten it documented. I hope you feel better soon.

Ohhh no!! I'm glad you guys are all ok and let your mom take care of you tonight!!!

Oh you poor thing! Talking/texting on cell phones while driving should be outlawed in all 50 states! I have such a pet peeve about that. I give people dirty looks if I see them talking/driving.

Glad you are all okay.

How scary, I would have been a crying mess too! Glad you guys are okay.

Carrie25 · June 2010

Oh no! I'm so sorry, but glad everyone is ok.

SeaSoul · June 2010

Oh, how scary!! So glad you're okay...I agree it'd be good for you to go to your PCP. Hannah is okay, I assume?

dana316 · June 2010

Awwwww...that sucks!!

I hope everything is okay...

laura&dan05 · June 2010

Yes, Hannah is fine she was "talking" and smiling by the time the police arrived. I'm so glad we still have her rear facing. She was checked out twice on the scene and she's walking around playing right now.

I am so sorry! Glad you all are okay!

I'm so sorry! Take care of yourself!

scally · June 2010

Oh no! Glad to hear you are all doing ok and I agree with pp it might be a good idea to get checked out. Good thing your mom is around to help out and glad Hannah seems unfazed.

Also, might want to check out Hannah's car seat. I have heard (not done any research myself) that if your car seat is in an accident you should replace it.

ugh!!!!! Damn Michigan drivers

I am so sorry, Laura! That sucks. I'm glad everyone is okay! I would want to be seen anyway, even if you feel fine. Just to be safe : )

Yikes, that is scary. I am so happy that everyone is fine (including your doggie). I agree, go in to see your doc as soon as possible to get any aches & pains documented. I hope that you feel better and that your parents take good care of you guys.

gabbeyh · June 2010

I agree, get checked out tomorrow. It is good to document for insurance reasons. I'm glad you are all ok.

alchris · June 2010

Oh no!

I was in a car accident at 12w3d with DD (which I'll be tomorrow...I don't want to drive tomorrow, LOL). I went straight to the hospital, and they couldn't find the HB with either a doppler or abdominal u/s, so 7 hours later I had a vaginal and all was OK. I really wasn't worried b/c she was still so small that nothing would have gotten bumped or anything! And the only reason I had gone out was to buy maternity clothes. I did do PT for 2 months though.

So, I'm 99% sure your little one is perfectly fine, but do what you need to do to take care of yourself, OK? You don't want to be sore leading into a long pregnancy.

I'm so sorry! Rest up!

beebe929 · June 2010

Oh how scary. I am so glad you are all ok!!! Hang in there and get some rest!!

crystalgirl · June 2010

Oh no! I think the others have given good advice about seeing your PCP. Definitely rest up, too. So glad your mom is around to help since your DH is OOT!
