13 weeks and was in a wreck

yesterday as I was driving to work, a teenager cut across a median trying to get to a side street and pulled out in front of me causing me to t-bone her. Luckily I was paying attention and slammed on my breaks slowing down somewhat. I was going the speed limit of 65 before breaking. There wasn't anything I could do but hang on at that point. I must have blacked out because I just remember seeing the side of a white car in front of me, and then I smelled smoke and dust and everything was still. I opened the door so I could breathe and my glasses had been knocked off by the airbags I guess. As soon as I opened the door a lady with short dark hair was saying she was a registered nurse and started asking me questions to see how with it I was and checking my vitals. She stayed with me till the paramedics got there and then dissapeared just as quickly as she came. I'm sad that I didn't catch/remember her name
My car was totaled. The engine was in the glove compartment, the grill was behind the front tires, the bumper was yards away.
The first thing I started asking about after I started coming to, was my baby. I remember not feeling pain down there but I was so dazed I could have lost a leg and not feel it. After I was in the ambulance, the EMT used their Doppler, but warned me that it might not pick up anything, which it didn't. I was so terrified but I also tried to be as logical as I could at that point.
When we got to the hospital, they did X-rays first, nothing broken but a bad case of whiplash. I was interviewed by the highway patrol, they did some blood work etc. it seemed like they were doing everything possible to push back on checking the baby.
FINALLY, they did an ultrasound and my LO was bouncing and kicking all over the place. I was sooo relived. Heartbeat was at 144. And everything looked good to the dr. The girl and her parents came to our room and apologized. She had airbag burns and a seatbelt bruise but was fine. I felt so bad for her because she was so scared, I hope for her sake she learned a lesson.
Yesterday threw my life into chaos. My car I inherited from my grandparents, I'm in so much pain that I can't even pick up my 1 1/2 y/o Daughter. My heart is broken and I'm feeling down.
Don't get me wrong, I know things could have easily been much much worse. And I'm so greatful that someone was watching over us, and I had angels coming out of nowhere yesterday.

Re: 13 weeks and was in a wreck
But atleast everyone is in one piece.
Hope you start feeling better soon.
Dealing with the insurance company is being a pain, but I have a lot of support at home and online.
Again thank you ladies
