Am seriously freaking out
am 36+1 weeks pregnant and we have been having car trouble for a little while so took it into the garage to finally get serviced and fixed. Turns out the catalytic converter is broken and the manifold has a leak in it (all over my head and too technical for me) what it means is that it is too expensive for us to fix (well over £1000) and we have no car to get to the hospital with (help) but worse than that, it has apparently been leaking carbon monoxide into the car through the air system as we have been driving.
I am now petified as to what damage this has done to my baby. I don't know how long this problem has been going on for or how much carbon monoxide i have breathed in but i am scared witless that i have brain damaged my child.
I can't stop crying at the moment and don't know what to do or who to turn to.
Help!
