Hey yall...Well today I went to the .Drs office, then to the dentist, and was on my way to finish getting things for my baby shower when all of a sudden a fire truck barreled through the intersection and made the driver in front of me slam on his brakes which made me have to slam on my brakes, but not soon enough.If they guy in front of me wouldn't have slammed on his brakes, he would've slammed into the fire truck. I slammed into him going about 25-30 mph. My air bag didn't go off (thank god!!!) and I had my seat belt on. I had an ambulance come to the scene and all they could do was take my blood pressure and heart rate.

I called my .Drs office and they asked me if I was cramping or bleeding and I said no, that I felt fine and the baby was moving and my .Dr said that if I did experience anything just for me to go to labour and delivery immedietly. (which was very scary!!) I came home and pottied and everything was fine so i'm pretty optimistic that things are ok.

I was in my moms car because in the beginning of my pregnancy I got into a wreck and came 500 dollars close to totalling my car and it's still in the shop! So now not only do I not have a car, but my mom's out one too!! Thank god for enterprise!!! I know it sounds like I can't drive but the 1st wreck it was determined the other drivers fault and this one was unavoidable. Mine and the other driver's stories match and I wasn't ticketed so it'll probably wind up being a "no fault" case and we'll just have to pay damages for our own car. Which sucks because my hood was crinkled into the windshield and he didn't have not one scratch on his!!!! Grrr!!!

Thanks for listening!!

When my mum was pregnant with my brother, she went into the back of this guy by accident. She got whiplash, he got a broken light. He punched her in the face. F*cker.

Good lord, rodge, I punched a guy once for running into me, broke his nose. But he was coming after me and grabbed my arm so I punched him. Thank god for boxing lessons. I had huge red marks on my arm from him, and a nice old lady stopped and told the cop that he wouldn't let me go. No charges were pressed. Thank god,

anyway, babymagic, I am glad to hear that you are ok. Just take it easy, and moniter yourself for the next few days and make sure nothing happens. I am sorry to hear about the cars, and dont' worry I can't drive but only one accident ive been in has been my fault. (ive been in three)

I'm glad thinks are ok good luck! :)

i've had my permit for about 7 months and i've almost gotten into 4 wrecks, three in a matter of 30 seconds lol I pulled out of mcdonalds and a car ran right infront of me so I stopped in the road because I was freaked out and started going again and a car got mad and went around me right as I started going and then I turned and another car ran infront of me. Maybe I drive too slow :lol:

Lol...My fiance was like people are really going to think you can't drive!! Lol..But neither were my fault.

I've been driving for about 4 years now and have gotten into 3 wrecks...2 were the other drivers fault and this one is pending!! I got hurt on the last one and I was preggy(but didn't know). I was just about to start going to the chiroprators because my next refused to get better with home stretches....And I wanted him to align my pelvis before giving birth.

The guy that I hit really really wanted to leave before the cops got there and he was trying to talk me into just swapping info and leaving. But I knew I had the ambulance coming and my agent would homicide me if I did that!! Before I could even make a decision, the cops were already there. Come to find out, homeboy didn't have a license, but the car was insured.....

His car had no damage but my hood crinkled up like freakin construction paper!! From the way it looks, my car went under his and bent his gas tank.

I was soo happy when the baby started to move after the wreck!!
