Q: Car Crash during Pregnancy - bedrest to prevent miscarriage

So my Birthday was Saturday, 10/20, I finally turned 19! My parents took Jayden for a few hours so Terrence could take me out to dinner. On our way over to dinner, we were going around a slight curve & this car crosses our path, slaming into the driver side of our car. I saw him starting to cross, but in not enough time to relay the msg in order for Terrence to slam on the brakes.. I jus screamed & he froze up & didn't even slam on the brakes, ever. All within seconds our car was completely totaled (in our eyes). & our lives seemed to just be taken right out of our own hands for that short, yet long minute. Somehow the car was driveable - but at the time of being in complete shock & us worrying about the intense pain & blood coming out of my leg & the fact that we're almost 4 mos. pregnant.. we weren't worrying about the fact that our -now- POS car was being towed, & all the while we're being completely lied to! My bad, next time I'll make sure we're not in shock 10 mins. after someone hits us, I mean really.. what was I thinking!? We got screwed over into paying $155 next day. Who knew cleaning up a few pieces of plastic would cost $20? Or that it would cost $15 just b/c somebody picked up there phone & called the cops b/c uh, there's a car accident? & b/c I'm so tired of us getting stepped on by everyone we come into contact with, I decided to not just let it slide & keep my mouth shut. I threw a flippin' fit! Laughing We ended up arguing with about 6 diff. people that worked there! & when I saw the guy that lied to us... ohhh... & he said, "I didn't lie, it was $75 - at the scene!" & "Did you me to pick up the glass for free?" First of all, it was plastic. & besides, $20 to throw a few pieces of plastic into your truck, that I could of picked up with my own bare hands!! I mean, OMG. How pathetic! Best news of all, Terrence decided that we go to the hospital & make sure our baby was ok, & s/he is perfectly perfect! Good, strong heartbeat. Something really good to hear. But I was put on bedrest for 2 days to hopefully prevent a miscarriage. & 3 days later, baby is still as strong as could be! Very Happy
