36+4 and involved in a car accident

[Jenjen85]

So today has been rather stressful. We were off on a family day out when we were involved in an accident, nothing major but still shaken up. As im 36+4 we took no chances and came straight to A&E where they gave my 3yr DD the ok and checked me and baby too. As iv been having quite a lot of tightenings since the accident im now on the labour ward for 24hr monitoring. My neck/back are sore which im sure will get worse tomorrow but for now its a night in hospital hoping i can manage some sleep at least

[balalalala]

You poor thing, how stressful! Hope you feel better soon and manage some sleep.

[Whatsername17]

That's awful. Hope you get a restful night and feel better x

[Littleelffriend]

Oh poor you. I had one at 34 weeks got checked all fine but waters broke at 36 weeks first child. Take it easy and look after yourself.

[SeashellHoarder]

Goodness, how awful for you all, I hope the tightenings ease off soon, and you can get some rest.

[Jenjen85]

Thanks ladies. Currently wide awake after my 5am obsrvations they said they are hoping to do a scan this morning but so far my blood pressure has lowered and baby seems to be ok

[SeashellHoarder]

Thats great they're doing a scan.
How are you feeling in yourself?

[Jenjen85]

Ok apart from my sore neck and shoulders just had some paracetamol to help with tge oain. Hoping ill be allowed home today

[DoubleCarrick]

Hope.you're doing ok op. I know someone who had an accident when she was 30 weeks and started having full contractions. They managed to stop them and she went to full.term with her baby.

Bloody scary though

[SeashellHoarder]

That's good, do you have someone to help with your dd when you get home?

[thatsn0tmyname]

Wishing you a speedy recovery. X

[Jenjen85]

Yes seashellhoarder my OH has taken the day off so he can look after her but she is really good and will probably just want to cuddle with me on the couch.

[lovelilies]

I had one at 32 weeks, the baby had been head down til then but the crash made the baby turn breech! Thankfully she turned again and we went to 40+3

[SeashellHoarder]

That's great, take it easy, it must have been quite a shock for you, even if you don't feel too bad.

[SpecialAgentFreyPie]

Oh you poor thing! That must have been terrifying.

Definitely get lots of cuddles and snuggle with a boxset

[SeashellHoarder]

How did the scan go? Are you home now?

[Jenjen85]

Didnt need a scan as saw consultant and he was happy with the monitoring. Just waiting on a dr to discharge me hoping not too much longer

[SeashellHoarder]

That's great, hope you're home soon.

[Jenjen85]

Finally home and resting on the bed. Can't wait to go to sleep tonight im so tired. Thanks ladies for all your messages

[ChatterNatterer]

Hope you're not too stiff and have a gold night's rest
