21 weeks and in a car accident?

Question

I am 21 weeks pregnant with my first child and was in a minor car accident. The airbag didn't deploy and I wasn't injured at all. I was wearing my seatbelt but don't recall it being tight on my stomach. I called 2 doctors and they said that from what I told them and the questions that they asked didn't think that I needed to be seen. What do you think?

Answer 1

I was told if you are pregnant and in a car accident you should always go to the hospital no matter how minor because you never know.  

Answer 2

as long as the belt was under your belly not on top and you were not violently jerked you should be fine.

Answer 3

you shud be ok hun but if the tightening get worst go see your midwife

i was in a car accident in 2003 and my son was born ok 4 months later and came late  

Answer 4

i would tell them you want to be seen so you can put your mind at ease Good Luck

Answer 5

I was in a car accident at 14 weeks. I was hit from behind at 35 mph and hit something in the front and the airbag deployed. My little boy was just fine.

However, if I were you I would insist on coming in. Not because there is a high likelihood something is wrong but because it will just make you feel at ease.

Answer 6

i had an accident 4 mths along, rearended, but i went to the er afterwards bc i was pregnant. Go to the er and have them perform an ultrasound. good luck

Answer 7

Better safe than sorry! You will worry about it until you go. There is no harm in being seen.
