Really sad story. Thankfully her and the baby are okay.

DENVER - It is the first thing you notice when you see her. Her eyes are black and blue. You even see it before you realize she is pregnant.
"It just hurt really, really bad. I've never felt pain like that before," Carrie said.
9NEWS is not using her last name to protect her identity.
She is a pizza delivery woman who works in the LoDo area. On Tuesday around 9 p.m., she went to East 31st Avenue and Lafayette Street to deliver an order.
"I knocked and nobody answered," she said.
As Carrie started to walk back to her car, three men approached her. Before she knew it, a gun was sticking into her stomach.
"They put it right here," she said. "They tried to keep it low."
"I had the phone in my hand and I had the pizzas. They were jerking it all from me. I didn't even have an opportunity to give it to them. Before I knew it, I was taking blows to the face, put my head down, got lots of blows back of my head and to my side," she said. "They knocked me down and just started kicking me."
She was screaming and she could hear them saying, "Shoot her. Just shoot her."
The men took off with the pizza, her cell phone and her wallet. Carrie laid there bruised and bleeding, but she had more on her mind that just herself.
"I remember screaming to the people that were helping me, 'I'm pregnant. Call 911. I need help,'" she said.
Denver Police are looking for clues and hope someone has answers.
"This one really strikes a nerve with us. You have a woman out there just trying to earn a living. Three guys attack her, assault her, it's a great concern of ours," Denver Police spokesman Sonny Jackson said. "We need the community's help as well."
Carrie says she is still very scared and shaken up, but hopes her story helps find the men that attacked her. She had a check up on Thursday and doctors say she and her baby are doing just fine.
