Hormones must be kickin in finally?...Long

So I haven't experienced any major pg related hormones (you know, the ones that some pg women have that send them crying over commercials) until this morning.

So I was at a stop light (one truck in front of me, one car behind me) and a disabled lady in an electronic wheel chair was crossing the street and as she came down the little ramp from the sidewalk to the street...her back wheels fell off! The guy in the truck in front of me jumped out and the women behind me in her car (she was wearing scrubs and I work right across the street from a hospital, so I am assuming she was a nurse/doctor) jumped out and ran to help her. I just sat there in my car like a dumb ass because I thought I wouldn't be able to help at all because I wouldn't be able to lift the disabled lady due to me being pg and the guy/lady were already on the scene (literally, like 2 seconds after it happened both were out of their cars. 

By then, there were passerbyers (sp?) walking to work so there were like 4 other people helping plus the man/woman, I felt that I passed the time in hopping out of my car to see if there was anything I could do and there were already too many people there (just standing around because what else could be done?) so I drove off and started crying because I felt so bad for not even offering to help in some way and feeling bad for the lady. Not sure if my tears were pg related or just me. Normally I would get out and help (and have in the past...similar situation actually) so this was the first time that I felt being pg really put me in a spot where I couldn't do something I normally would be able to.

Thanks for listening...sorry for the novel!

    Im not going to be very helpful here. You could have gone out and asked if she was ok, if she needed anyone to be called, something.

    I was going to offer to call, but the lady actually pulled out her own cell phone and was on it calling someone right away. So literally, I would have just asked if I could have helped and probably been told no because it was already handled. I'm just happy that so many people so quickly jumped to her rescue. Maybe this is a lesson for me that next time I'll just ask even if I can't be of much help.

    I wasnt trying to be bitchy, sorry if it came off that way. It maybe would have helped you feel a little better about it, rather than feeling bad that you couldnt do anything.

    Yah, I think it would have made me feel better considering I STILL feel guilty about it. It's the first time I've not helped someone out so it's totally out of character for me. Lesson learned!
