Today, I got rear-ended while on my way to work. This wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't pregnant, suffering from a horrible UTI, and running a fever. My boss called in sick, so now I'm stuck running the office alone. With whiplash. FML

If you had gotten rear-ended in the first place you probably wouldn't be pregnant.

Your health and your baby is more important than that job--- you had every right to stay home-- better yet, go to the hospital!

I thought that this FML was going to be about something completely different when I read 'rear-ended'.

i have a horrible uti too!!! im sorry for you more:/ being pregnant and whiplast. im so sorry):

you probably should have gone to the hospital instead of work. ydi for not caring about the well-being of your baby

Call in sick, you have more right to stay home than him.

So I'm actually OP, Sorry, it took me a while to respond but I've had a bit to deal with. Basically, the office i work at is uber tiny (literally, three other people besides myself - boss included). So when the boss is out, I have to run the show. So I tried sucking it up and being strong but, due to the fact I just had a car accident, I was stressed out and suffering from back pain (luckily, it wasn't whiplash in the neck). I was able to leave early but was there for about 6 hours, regardless. Yes. I did go to the hospital and yes I did get checked out. I just have minor back pain in my lower lumbars now but I'm alright. Unfortunately, I lost the baby on Sunday evening. I was about 6 weeks along. I had just heard their heartbeat for the first time. I was just starting to get all excited over this whole prospect of being a mama and then it was gone. Once you start having a miscarriage there is little they can do. The doctors can only advise you to rest but if its going to happen, its going to happen. :( While I was, of course devastated in my own way, I believe that this was just God's way of telling me wasn't our time. It hurts, it hurts a lot, but I'm doing okay with it. Unfortunately, when they're that small there is nothing you can do except rest. And given the fever from the UTI (from being pregnant) and all the extra stress, my baby just couldn't take it. I have an appointment with the doctor to verify that it was indeed a true miscarriage but deep in my heart I know. A mother knows. I know my child is no longer with me. And that is extremely hard. Anyhow, I don't mean to make this a sob fest. I am just so ridiculously angry at everything. I'm angry at the idiot who read ended me at 75mph on the Freeway as we were all driving. I'm angry that the cop on the side of the road didn't pull him over. I'm angry that when I called the police they did nothing. And I'm angry that I had to suffer through that day at work, sick, in pain, and end up losing my child because of it. Seriously, this week has been nothing short of a FML. :(

Wow. Truly, F your life. I'm sorry. You really should have called in sick though... just for your personal health, even if your boss wasn't there either. No offense though.

Omg, I almost started bawling when I read this comment by you OP. I am so very sorry for your loss! I cant believe the shit storm you got caught in with the whole incident. I hope that the following week wasnt such a horrible week! Hopefully this will be a one time thing for you (the miscarrage I mean) and you'll go on to have a healthy happy baby sometime in the future! :) I hope it works out for you. It wasnt your fault (dont listen to the aholes on here saying it is) when you're in charge at work, sometimes it isnt as easy as just calling in sick, so dont take their bs personally. I wish you all the best in the future and hope you'll get your precious little child when the time is right for you :)

I am so, so sorry, darling. No one deserves that. I know this was last year, but still. I'm so sorry for your loss. :(

wtf kinda parent are you gonna be?! you dont care about ur unborn babies safety? your one of them people who has no right having kids.

Fall on your arse, die and rot in hell you ignorant bitch. I'm usually not the insulting type but "urfavewifey" (ridicule really does not kill), really, I mean what I just wrote. Though calling you a bitch is insulting to canines and calling you a **** would be insulting to women, including me, I'll have to settle with basic insults. I wouldn't want to confuse you with big words anyway.
