Im five months pregnant and had a car crash?

Question

I had a car crash this morning with a large kangaroo it not only scared me alot and shook me up i have had severe back pain since im at work my boss isnt in it should i just keep going and not think about it or could this be bad the baby is moving about not as much but i think i scared him a little too. the back pain is really low and happens as soon as i start walking it is horrible

Answer 1

you should definatly go to the dr asap.  although just fyi my mom had a crash when she was 7mts pregnant with my sister and both she and the baby were fine (although it was with another car).  she was sore for quite a while afterwards but nothing 'bad' happened to the baby.

Answer 2

Do you have a health link line that you can call and ask questions too?  Or call the OB's office and speak to a nurse.  If all else fails, go to the hosptital and get checked out.  You need to know that everything is ok and that you are doing all you can to look after the unborn babies health.

Answer 3

As soon as you fall, trip, get hit in the belly, experience an accident, you are supposed to go to your doctor or the hospital.  Call you doctor and tell them what happened.  THey may want you to go to labor and delivery and get a quick ultrasound.  

Answer 4

GO TO THE DOCTOR! Even if you didn't feel pain the shock of the accident could be keeping you from feeling it. You need to go in girl.

Answer 5

Go to your doctor. They should give you an ultrasound and see if the baby's okay.

Answer 6

Regardless if baby is moving or not or if u are in pain or not, anytime u get into an accident u should always contact your doctor or go to the ER because there could be some if any damage that u cannot see or feel. Good Luck!

Answer 7

While there may be no significant signs of danger, wouldn't you feel better knowing everything is Okay, instead of stressing about it all day? Please, call your OB/GYN's office immediatly, and explain to them what happened. Its possible you could have gotten whiplash, and if your are shooken up, think about the little one you are caring around.

I wish you the best, let us know what you find out. CONGRATS on the preganacy too...Im hoping for my own soon!!

Answer 8

You should have gone to the Dr. right away.  Get in there now!!!

Answer 9

kangaroos!! wouldn't you think that they'd learn by now that roads aren't for animals?

I'm so sorry to hear about your crash, it must have been very frightening.

After any falls or accidents, you MUST take any back or neck pain seriously. You have back pain AND you are pregnant, that  means you MUST go to the hospital and be checked over.

Call 13HEALTH from work and tell them what happened, where the pain is and how it hurts when you walk.

They will be able to tell you how to hold your body correctly, and will organize the best hospital for you to go to, and have a doctor on standby to assess you. They will also organize the ambulance for you as you shouldn't be driving with back pain. Your baby sounds safe and secure in your tummy, he is well cushioned in there, his movements must feel like a touch of heaven right now.

Call 13HEALTH and get yourself checked out. its not worth the risk.

Answer 10

I would go to the doctor as soon as possible.  

Answer 11

i would go to the ER just to make sure the baby and you are ok that way you are sure that you both are safe hope i helped

good luck
