I’m off the zofran Pump as I had an allergic reaction at the site to it. I still have the HG pretty badly and take my meds like clockwork. My new job has been super supportive and are always asking if I’m okay and how I’m feeling. I’ll start teleworking full-time in four more weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-accident-3rd-trimester#post-2865670 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 20:58:42 +0000 pachamama 2865670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: just wanted to say sorry this happened! How are you feeling? I know you had bad HG this pregnancy!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-accident-3rd-trimester#post-2865660 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 19:07:14 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2865660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: Glad to hear everything is ok!</p> <p>I got into an accident at 38 weeks. Airbags deployed and my car was totaled. Other than air bag burns on my arm I felt fine. Ambulance wanted to take me to a trauma center but I insisted on going to the hospital where I had planned to give birth. They checked me out and listened to the heartbeat in the ER.</p> <p>As a precaution they sent me to L&amp;D for a fetal monitor. The baby’s oxygen levels dipped and the doctor came in to tell me they felt more comfortable delivering the baby to monitor. DH was out of town for work and ended up watching my C-section vis FaceTime thanks to MIL joining me in the OR. Thankfully baby boy and I had no complications. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-accident-3rd-trimester#post-2865647 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 17:05:52 +0000 LadyDi 2865647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in an accident at 37 weeks. It wasn't bad, no airbags or anything. The baby was fine. I didn't get checked out though, which in retrospect was a terrible idea. I should have at least called my OB. Sorry that happened! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-accident-3rd-trimester#post-2865642 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 16:25:30 +0000 DesertDreams88 2865642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Minor accident, 28 weeks, everything was fine though I did go to OB triage and stayed for 4 hours monitoring.</p> <p>My friend was in a rollover accident at 28 weeks and even though the baby stopped kicking / moving for a while, she was on hospital monitoring for the night / day and baby was fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-accident-3rd-trimester#post-2865641 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 16:25:27 +0000 crazydoglady 2865641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: Oh, good! Glad you and baby are ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-accident-3rd-trimester#post-2865639 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 16:23:47 +0000 dc yoga bee 2865639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything is okay! Midwife said I could get an ultrasound and 4 hour monitoring if I’d like but chances of placenta abruption were slim to none based on how I described the accident. She listened to baby’s heartbeat and it was perfect! Thank you ladies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-accident-3rd-trimester#post-2865638 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 16:22:18 +0000 Aria 2865638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: I’m sorry that happened, I hope everything is okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-accident-3rd-trimester#post-2865624 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 15:39:28 +0000 alphagam84 2865624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totaled my car in my second trimester and demanded the ambulance take me to a hospital (instead of the urgent care they suggested for my ankle and chest pain requiring xrays) so I could have OB's take a look. They did an ultrasound to confirm baby was okay-they did it immediately as I was a hysterical mess until I saw the baby was alive. They put monitors on me and saw I was having contractions I couldn't feel. It was scary but they said it was very common when the body has a trauma like I did and they were slowing down and stopped before I left. I would think a bus you were riding getting hit wouldn't be a huge cause for concern. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-accident-3rd-trimester#post-2865608 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 15:09:27 +0000 nana87 2865608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no experience, but thinking of you!! how scary! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-accident-3rd-trimester#post-2865606 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 15:07:54 +0000 dc yoga bee 2865606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ajsmommy: luckily this was in the city, 14th and F. So, I was right by metro center and went on to work!</p> <p>At my appointment waiting to be seen now. Thanks everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-accident-3rd-trimester#post-2865566 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 12:49:42 +0000 misolee 2865566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a super minor one with my second in my third trimester but like I think I was borderline of just entering the 3rd trimester. It was really minor and I called my practice and they told me to go to the ER. I declined. Everything was fine. I think you know how you’re feeling. </p> <p>With my 3rd baby, I tripped in my garage while holding my second at lien 37 weeks. I mentioned it the next day at my appt and they made me get a non stress test. Again, everything was fine. Little girl took another like 4 weeks to make her appearance 🙄 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-accident-3rd-trimester#post-2865564 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 12:42:30 +0000 Ajsmommy 2865564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend had two accidents while pregnant (different pregnancies). She was monitored for a few hours after one and the other she just got checked out the next day :shocked: and was fine both times.</p> <p>I hope you and babe check out just fine!!</p> <p>darn DC traffic!! (was also where my friend had her accidents.. one on 95s and one on 495)</p> <p>ETA: the one that she was monitored after was pretty severe.. she rear ended someone and totaled both cars.</p> <p>the other one was minor rear end both cars drivable after.</p> <p>so that might play into it too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-accident-3rd-trimester#post-2865557 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 11:48:38 +0000 LAZB 2865557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No experience, but sorry that happened! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-accident-3rd-trimester#post-2865556 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 11:47:59 +0000 LBee 2865556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was around 26 weeks. Baby was perfectly fine, despite the fact I totaled my car and the airbags deployed. My doctor's office did require an overnight hospital stay with a wreck of my severity, which was annoying. Since you were on a bus (as opposed to in a car individually), I'd think you were okay :happy: , but I'm glad you are getting checked out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/car-accident-3rd-trimester#post-2865553 Tue, 08 Jan 2019 11:43:23 +0000 dc yoga bee 2865553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone in a car accident in their third trimester. 32 weeks tomorrow and my bus got sideswiped this morning. I was jolted into the seat in front of me, but did not hit my belly. I have an appointment with the midwives this afternoon and feel totally fine. Until I googled car accidents while pregnant that is! </p>
