Fair Settlement for Car Accident?

Wednesday, December 28th, 2011
qmge81a asked:


My wife & unborn child were in a car accident 5 weeks ago. The girl at fault swirved into oncoming traffic due to self admitted driver inattention(swirved to miss a line of stopped cars)and struck the drivers side of my wife’s car as she was turning left onto our street. My wife was rushed to the hospital & spent an hour in the ER and 5 hours hooked to a fetal monitor. My wife’s left wrist was injured(X-ray taken at hospital showed no breaks but sprained). The baby had a steady heartbeat, but they could not say with certainty if she was uninjured. Our baby was born 9-8-07 and seems to have no injuries from the accident.

The girl at fault never notified her insurance company of the accident. We had to notify them after getting the police report. All our calls to her insurance company went unreturned for 3 weeks, when they finally gave us a rental car. They wrote us a check for our car(totalled). I’d rather not involve a lawyer so I want to know what an acceptable offer would be.
They offered a reasonable amount for the car. $4,250 for a 1996 Toyota Camry with 250,000 miles. We took the check, but have not signed a release. They have not made an offer for pain and suffering, or injuries as they were waiting for the baby to be born. Our insurance paid for medical bills which we need restitution ($2000). BTW, the girl at fault has still not contacted her insurance company, and all contact numbrs they have for her are disconnected.

Have any of you had excess amniotic fluid (polyhydramnois)?

Friday, December 23rd, 2011
Cole Jameson is here! asked:


Have any of you ladies had excess amniotic fluid? I’m a day shy of being 38 weeks and found out through an ultrasound I have excess fluid. Now I have to go 3 times a week to be put on the fetal monitor until birth comes. I’m just wondering how your experiences went with it. I can only seem to find the same information over and over on the web, just basic clinical stuff. Any info would be appreciated! I’m worried.

Question About Home Fetal Doppler Baby Heart Monitors?

Wednesday, December 21st, 2011
JkB2521 asked:


I was just curious if anyone has used a home fetal doppler baby heart monitor during their pregnancy
I am 11 weeks and I just ordered mine today ~ I am renting one to use.
How was your experience if you used one ?
How often did you listen to your babies heart beat ?
How many weeks were you when you first started using one ?

Thanks so much for your help !!! :o)

hearing the fetal Heartbeat?

Sunday, December 11th, 2011
Becca O asked:


Today I was screwing around at work (labor and delivery unit) with the doppler monitor and was trying to find the heartbeat (15 weeks along) and couldn’t find it. I’m no professional, and I’ve heard the heartbeat three times before at the doctor.

Should I worry, or is it just my skill? I only tried for about ten minutes, and it wasn’t a “fetal heartbeat doppler”.

I don’t think I should worry because I wasn’t really positioned right. I don’t know, any advice?
Thanks.
