Maci Bookout is giving extra thanks this Sunday after surviving a frightening car accident near her home.

The Teen Mom star took to Instagram where she detailed the real-life "nightmare" she experienced on the roads.

"Thanking God that my unborn baby girl is perfectly healthy after this," she wrote online.  "I'd also like to [thank] @JeepOfficial @Jeep because if our seatbelts and the roll cage had not done their job, I'm not sure my family and I would have had the same outcome."

Based on photos taken from the scene, Bookout's vehicle flipped over next to a median, which ultimately caused windows to be smashed. Firefighters and paramedics also rushed to the scene to assist all the victims including her six-year-old son Bentley

"Thanks to everyone that stopped to help, that was huge," she added. "I pray everyone else involved is doing okay. #JeepWrangler #Rolledthreetimes #Terrifying #Totaled #NotmyFault."

The accident comes at an important time for the 23-year-old MTV fan-favorite who is expecting a baby with her boyfriend of two years Taylor McKinney.

Prior to getting pregnant for the second time, Bookout was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which makes it difficult to have a child.

"We were very concerned that we might not be able to have a child of our own, so we talked about adoption," the reality star recently shared. "I knew my chances [of getting pregnant] were very low."

Thankfully, Bookout and her family are safe and sound. Don't forget to buckle up folks!
