Car accident 34 weeks

Belle

I was rear ended at 34 weeks pregnant. I am now over 36 weeks, I went to the doctor and he told me I probably fractured my ribs which is why I’m in such pain. Unfortunately they may or may not heal while I’m pregnant but they will likely refracture when I give birth and it will be awful.

I was planning on trying to not have an epidural this time (3rd baby) but now I know I want one because I cry all day from the pain.

Has anyone else dealt with this? What did you do?
