Hi ladies...I was in a pretty rough car accident this morning and would appreciate some thoughts and prayers. They were able to get the baby's heartbeat, but I'm experiencing some pain in my back and had to get an xray. I'm still waiting for results/ may have to stay for monitoring.
I wasn't at fault and was sandwiched between two cars. I just feel like an idiot and am really worry about the xray exposure as well as the accident for baby.
Update: everything is perfectly fine for baby! I have some whiplash and have aggravated a preexisting back condition, but nothing major. Just really sore. Thanks so much for a positive thoughts...a car accidents is scary enough when you're not pregnant. Adrenaline was in over drive worrying about the bean and I am so thankful everything is ok!

There's absolutely no reason you should feel like an idiot! An accident could've happened to anyone. I hope everything checks out ok and that you and your sweet baby are just fine!
Don't stress about the x-ray messing with the baby. Modern x-ray machines are a world away from where they used to be as far as radiation exposure. The doctors know what they are doing.
Also, remember that your LO has a whole extra "air bag" within your body to cushion him/her. So whatever impact you took, LO only got a tiny fraction of that.
I was in a bad accident myself a few years ago and I can only imagine how amped up I would feel if it happened while pregnant. I'm thinking of you and your LO and hope everything comes back alright. keep us posted. lots of love
