I got into a car accident last week. The driver in front of me made an illegal left turn and I crashed into him (I crashed into him, but it was his fault because he made the turn too suddenly, and left turns are prohibited in that area). Anyway, I spent two days in the hospital. My hip is broken, and am having surgery in two weeks. My baby survived the crash (I am 22 weeks pregnant; 5 1/2 months) but she is showing less movement. She no longer kicks. The doctor said she's fine...She is doing much better than before. Right after the crash, when I was taken to the hospital, her heart rate was really down, and we were all scared, but now it's back to normal. I'm afraid that she's not going to make it...
Also, will the hip surgery affect her?
Unfortuneatly, I will not be given anasthesia because I am pregnant. I will however be put to sleep and be given pain killers.
Will the surgery affect my daughter, and is she currently okay?
the doctor says she's fine, but her movements are different.
