car crashes increases...

So I was just reading that the risk of having a car crash increases 42% during your second trimester.
How crazy is that?

Then the girl got rear ended by a pregnant woman on her way to her check up.Young girl was texting and not watching. Ended up at the ER to check on the baby after was fine thankfully. But I wanted to choke the girl

The MA didn't do anything about them not having insurance? That's ridiculous. You should have take them to court!

That is good that you and baby are good. It could have been much worse. Ugh people really need to pay attention

Oh no, we were in a parking lot and they backed into the passenger side of the car. Luckily they didn't hit us hard and we were going super slow, so I was alright (I was sitting in the passenger seat) and so was baby, and husband. Just our poor car isn't. But it could be worse, and were thankful its not.

I'm 25+1 also, but every scan I've gone to ive measured two days early, and its not enough to get my doctor to bump my due date up!

Im 25+1

At least its not the front of the car. Reason I say that is because i drove a car without ac because my uncle accidentally hit a trailer. Just worried about the heat

Its a huge dent in the passenger door. I think it will cost about $700, but we will only have to pau $500 because that's what our deductable is. I think? Idk my husband is taking care of it lol.

According to most doctors your third trimester starts at 27 weeks,although some say 28. My doctor and midwife both say 27. I'm at 25 weeks right now.

My husband and I were backed into on Friday and yesterday i was on the military base we live on and almost got backed into twice in the same parking lot! I was so mad, plus the girls that hit us were uninsured, so we have to pay out of pocket to fix his car! Luckily my third trimester us right around the corner!

Well that kinda explains why they keep almost happening to me. Besides the fact that people like to pull out right in front of you and construction workers dont pay attention
