the
day before yesterday I was driving with my
best freind. I was late for school and
he was takeing me. Traffic was backed up
so he sped down the median to get to the
turn lane and he smashed into a van! The
people in the ambulance made my mom take
me to the hospital because they said
something was wrong with my baby. They
said everything was fine but they didnt
even check anything. The only thing they
did was push on my belly a little.
Anywho im bruised up pretty bad and even
though they said everything is okay im
having horrible pains im my abdomen that
shoot down and hurt reeeeeaaaallly bad.
There is a weird color of discharge...Not
blood...Its brown...(is that normal?) the
people in the e.R. Didnt say anything
about it when I told them... I dont have
any insurance and neither did the driver
of the vehicle. I dont have the money to
spend 400 dollars again for them to tell
me nothing is wrong. What should I do?
Any advice would really help a lot...Or if
you know anything from previous
experiences it would help to. Thanx

Lil, I have never been in that
predictament before and I am not all that
experienced in this kind of thing... I
think that you should just relax and wait
until someone on here can reassure you
everything is ok. Brown blood means that
its not fresh. So that is probably a good
thing. The pains in your belly could be a
bad thing... How far along are you? If
you feel that you should go to the doctor,
$400 or not, it's worth not losing your
baby. Be more demanding, they are there
to help you... Give it a couple days and
if the pain presist, give them another
try.
Sarah
i wish you all the luck...

Hey hun,
im so sorry to hear about the car
accident...I dont wanna scare ya, but if
all of a sudden ur getting pains and an
unusual discharge(moreso the pain) I would
definitely get into ur doctor asap....Ur
body has different ways of telling u
somethings not right...So this pain could
very well mean something is going
on...Please please go see a doctor as soon
as possible to make sure everythings
ok...Demand an ultrasound or to be checked
by a professional...Best of luck and my
prayers are with you.

Hi lil666, my name is nancy, im 20 years
old, a mother of a 7th old baby boy and a
medical graduate. I am also lildreamers
older sister. Im no md but im a ma (
medical assistnat and work for a internal
medicine doctor and may be able to help
you. I read your story and first of all I
would like to say that not all doctors are
correct. I would definitley advise you
get a second opinion by another
obstetrican. Accidents in any kind could
be a effect on a growing baby causeing
miscarriage or even death in side the womb
as well as growth and development
dysfunctions. Cramping and pain as well
as dicharge is normal during pregnancy.
Every female is diffrent so maybe you get
brown discharge but if your still worried
u should still go. You say you dont have
insurance and my question is if you dont,
how do u get prenatal care? How old r u?
Your parents should be able to provide you
with insurance. Where are you from? Are
there any pregnancy clinics near you?
There are always help for you to get for
young girls who seek help during
pregnancy( I also volunteer at a pregnancy
clinic wich is next door to my work) like
free prenatal care. Its always important
to have check ups cause no matter how fine
you feel ...Something can be wrong! Take
it from me, I know. I was in for my 2nd
to last check up befor my due date and I
was feeling fine...Just the usual and then
they told me that I was losing amniotic
fluid ( and my water wasnt broken) and
they needed to induce me before it got
dangerous. So please get back to me if u
need any more help
I got myself on medicaid this week and
went to my new ob gyn....(all caps-)
everythings fine!! Hooray! Got an
ultrasound and everything. He said the
cramping could have been from the shock of
the seat belt but it was not effecting the
baby. That makes me happy. Its about a
week and a half later now and im
fine....Except the huuuuugee black and
green bruise on my knee....The cramping
stopped and im back to normal.
As for where I got my prenatal care
before....Well I didnt get any...I just
barely got my prenatal vitamins...Redic
huh?..(redic-a word my little sister says
because she cant say rediculous lol) my
family is really poor and really busy...We
only see eachother at night when its to
late to do anything. The kids have
school, the adults have work. It's just
how my family is I cant help it. Anywho
thanx for your support and all.

I am glad that you got on medicaid, that
it what I went for, we aren't wealthy
either, as a matter of fact when I was
pregnant I was taking care of the house
while my mom was on the road...I had to
take care of everything including making
my way to school every morning. Most
people would love to be able to do that,
decide if you wanna go to school or not,
and if I wasnt so mature(as my mom would
say) I would have done that too. But you
need to learn how to take care of
yourself. I went and got my own medical,
my own wic. I did everything on my own.
I have never been in as much as you are in
, but I am close. And I have had
discharge like that before too, but dont
be alarmed. But still consult a doctor if
you havent. I am here for you if you need
me!!
the
day before yesterday I was driving with my
best freind. I was late for school and
he was takeing me. Traffic was backed up
so he sped down the median to get to the
turn lane and he smashed into a van! The
