Bus Accident

I was in a bus accident this morning. I
won't go into details but I got a little
banged up. Nothing serious just some
bruises. Now everyone is telling me that
I should sue the bus company, but it
wasn't the bus driver's fault, some jack
butt pulled out of nowhere and tried to
cut the bus off. Everyone is telling me
to go to the er. I'm just bruised!! I
talked to my doc and she said m&m is
more than likely fine (protected by ab
muscles and floating around in all that
fluid) and that if I go to er they're just
going to monitor heartbeat and possibly
perform a us then send me home. Which to
me sounds like a waste of time. I guess
I should point out that I have felt him
move since then. He feels normal to me.
What would you guys do if you were me?

I would just keep an eye on things if u
feel a change even a small one (like more
tired etc) I would take a trip to the er
never know(internal bleeding is not
visible.) as for suing the bus company im
happy you didnt ur right the bus driver
did what he had too if you feel the need
to sue anyone sue the driver(of the car)
cause he is the main problem driving like
an fool should have his license revoked!!
I hope everything is okay and keep us
updated tigres!!

If all feels normal to you and you aren't
seeing any discharge or blood in your
panties, I think you're doing the right
thing by just staying home and relaxing.
If you start to feel pain or have
discharge or blood, then be sure to get
your butt to the er asap!!! But other
than that, just continue to take it easy.

If there hasnt' been any leaking of fluids
or blood then I think that you are ok.
If your skoot is moving around and stuff
then it's not a problem if youstart to
cramp or contract. Then maybe you need
to go.
I hope that you are alright and there
aren't any underlying problem like your
back or something. Just rest and relax
and make sure you take it easy and not too
much walking. (if you can avoid it.)

I think its still best to be checked out
coz here they give you anti-d whatever
(not sure the exact name of med) injection
if you had an accident, a fall, or
anything that would prob cause trauma to
your lo. Its prob better to be on the
safe side.

I know i'm paranoid as a mother so i'd go.
But hey...That's me ya know? I'm sure
he's fine like your .Drs office said.
Paranoia is a mother....But I did fall off
of a chair like 2 months ago and didn't go
to the .E.R and all is good...So hey!!

Here's the thing. Today...You might not
feel or see anything but bruises...But you
don't know for certain that more damage
wasn't done. If you end up having
problems with your health or your babies
as a result of this accident...You wont be
able to sue for anything if you havn't
seen a doc when it happened so that the
incident is documented. I live in
ontario, canada. Last year...I had a
second degree sprain in my ankle from
stepping down off the city bus and
twisting my ankle. I had to file a
report with the bus company and their
insurance people. Thing is...This was no
one's fault at all. But...Because my one
foot was still on the bus step when it
happened...They had to cover all medical
bills that weren't covered by our public
health care, days missed at work and taxi
bills from going to the doctors and work
when I finally was able. You're best to
see a doctor just in case!!! I hope you
and baby are fine...But you don't want to
be the one to pay if something does happen
as a result of this accident. You could
have neck or back injuries that you still
don't know about.
Best of luck!!

I have my regular doctor's appt today.
When I go in she'll check to make sure
that the m&m is okay. Today I feel
right as rain. Only pain is in the
bruised areas if they touch something or I
move them around. Ankle feels fine too.
The m&m has been moving around like
normal. So i'm sure it's all good, but
since i've got my regular doc appt today
it won't hurt to have it checked. But I
was not going to spend 4 hours in the er
only to have them monitor his heartbeat
and send me home. :lol:

I go crazy when I have to sit for long
periods and do nothing. Plus the er
always makes me go a little crazy and I
start thinking about beating up the
nurses. Especially when I see them just
standing there talking for half an hour
and i'm trying to find out what's going
on.

I would get checked out just incase. If
anything does happen down the road, as a
result of the accident then the hospital
will have your back....They'll have
everything on record.

I don't understand why people would wait
like 8 hours in the e.R. My thoughts
are..If I haven't died within 2 hours...My
as$ is going home!! Lol....But when it
comes to the baby, i'd def. At least try
to get an appt. A.S.A.P. Which is sounds
like you did so good luck..I'm sure he's
fine!! (if the kicks in the ribs haven't
let you know that already!)

I work in er the best thing to tell them
is that you are having difficulty with
breathing, that generally gets you in
faster. Their is also thosse walk in
clinics, sometime, they are faster, they
are similar to er because I do realize
that if you are not sick by the time you
get in to er you will be with
all of those caughing and vommiting and
all.
Let us know what your doctor says and make
sure he charts you being in the bus
accident in case something does happen
down the road some.
Good luck!

:lol:
went to the docs yesterday. The blue
m&m is fine. Fetal heartrate is
good, movement is fine and he's turned
head down. I didn't think that they did
that this early. Guess that's why I can
breathe again but now i'm peeing even
more!!! Had the glucose tolerance test
which had the m&m having a dance party
in my tummy. I swear he was on a sugar
high. Iron levels are good. They're
attributing my dizziness and overall
tiredness to stress. So i'm healthy the
m&m is healthy and on sunday we'll
have 9 weeks to go!! Yeah! :lol:

I swear my angel was about to burst out of
my belly when I took the glucose test!!!!!
I had an empty stomach to boot!! Wow...I
was enjoying every second of it though...I
don't know that I would;ve been able to
wait to get blood drawn without feeling
her...I'm the biggest wimp when it comes
to needles!!
(but I have 2 tattoos, 7 holes in each
ear, and a toung ring) but again, i'm
terrified of needles!! Lmao!
Wow...I'm more retarded than I thought!

You're a sister in the piercehood (as I
call it)!!! To look at me you'd think I
was totally straightlaced come bathing
suit time tho everyone knows the truth!
I've got 3 tats on my back 2 of which I
designed myself (1 is a dominatrix fairy,
one is a sort of tribal bleeding rose).
I've got a tat on my belly. It's also
pierced. I used to have the tongue
until it got annoying and I took it out
and let it close (i had it for 3 years
before I took it out). I've got 3 holes
in each ear and I used to have something
else pierced but I let that close too
after I got married. Hubby didn't like.
I'm not scared of needles tho, i'm a
little masochistic.

I think the baby-to-be was telling you
that he/she was hugry, see you are not so
afraid of needles after-all. Souds like
things are in great shape and stress is
normal, even without the accident, just
being checkedis enought to raise your
blood pressure, I bet you are getting
anxious. I am just happy for you that
things are going well!
The best to you and yours!
