While driving to work a car slammed it's
breaks in front of me and I didn't have
enough time to stop, so I went into the
yard on the side of the road and slammed
on my brakes. The yard was wet, so it
didn't stop right away. I went across
the yard and my car stopped about one inch
from a tree. My neck hurts and after I
had a headache. My car shakes a little.
It wasn't technically a wreck because I
didn't hit anything, but I came pretty
close twice. I am 14 weeks pregnant and
very worried about my baby. I had a dull
pain on the right side of my belly button
about 5 minutes after, but it went away
after a few minutes. I came straight
home and laid down for a couple of hours.
I was very shaken about it. I go to the
doctor on thursday for my check-up, but I
was wondering if anyone's gotten into a
car wreck during their pregnancy. I'm
afraid that the stress may have hurt my
baby, but I may be overreacting because I
feel fine.
Thanks!

If you are really worried call your
doctor. I fell a few weeks ago and I
didnt' call my doc because I was seeing
her that following friday. She got
really mad at me because the worst that
could happen would have been during the
first 24 hours.
If you are that worried about it call your
doc....Because you probibly can't feel
your skoot move to moniter his/her
movements so you may not really know what
is goin on with him/her

I just called my doctor. The nurse asked
if I was cramping or bleeding. I told
her no and she said I was fine.
Thanks. I probably wouldn't have called
if you wouldn't have told me that and I
would have worried until thursday
afternoon.
Thanks again!

Yeah, when in doubt always call wether or
not you think something is wrong. That
way your not always stressed about what
your feeling or the unknown. I always
do. It eases my mind and the stress is
worse on your body than making a phone
call.
I am glad everything is ok. Just make
sure you don't start leaking fluids or
bleeding or cramping. That doesn't
always start right away. So take it easy
and pay attention to your body and if it
gets worse call again. They won't kill
you for calling.
