This morning, on the way to work, DH and I were in a minor accident. We were rear-ended when we hit the breaks for the car in front of us. The car behind us, wasn't so fortunate to stop in time. We took some damage to the rear bumper, but it wasn't so bad. We experienced a thud and some surprise...it was the first accident for both of us.
DH is a little sore from the impact and I seem to be more or less fine. Some muscle soreness in my arms and upper back and some tiny twinges in my belly, but other than that, I'm ok.
When I told my mother what happend, she told me that I should see my doctor. I don't have the luxury of just calling to tell him, nor the time to take off work. I have told my boss that I might have to leave, however.
Should I go in for something so minor? Should I be seeing my family doctor or call my OB's office? I haven't had my first visit there, so I don't know what to do.
Advice and prayers, please! TIA!

Owie! DR appointment
This morning I went in for a physical with my family doctor. I haven't had one in almost two years, so it was about due.
It was actually a really quick check! He told me after that he wasn't going to do a PAP because it can cause bleeding and that was a serious issue with pregnant women. However, that didn't stop him from poking and prodding me in my abdomen! It was really uncomfortable...but I still hurt now! My lower back and belly are aching so bad that I want to take a Tylenol. I'm gonna go for a walk...so let's hope that works.

10 weeks!
I am officially 10 weeks today! My MIL asked my DH if anyone at church knew to which he only mentioned our BFF's. She was surprised! I hope to be able to hide this until after I have my u/s.
Speaking of u/s, it's driving me bonkers not knowing what's going on in there! Just a few more weeks, March 2 is coming soon...

First OB appointment today
So I met my OB today.
He seems like a very soft spoke, gentle doctor, but I had trouble figuring him out...I am going to chalk it up to the fact that his office was so busy.
It was an OK appt, considering I didn't have done what I thought would happen. They took my weight and blood pressure, then I went into a room to have my examination. He said that he wanted to wait 4 weeks to do the u/s and BW, but gave me the ultrasound paperwork so I could call in and schedule the appt.
So my next appt is March 2 when I get my BW done. It seems like forever away!
