Can Car Accident Cause Any Problem During Pregnancy?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I had a car accident about 3 hours ago. I'm 15 weeks pregnant and rear ended the driver in front of me. No air bags deployed. I was wearing my seatbelt and didn't feel much of a jar since we were moving about 10 mph. Should I see a dr?

Hi, Thanks for the query through healthcare magic. I understand your concern. Though you had n accident, without without air bags protection, The best part of the story is you were traveling at a slow speed of 10 & you had safety seat belts on.You also did not feel any jerk. You also do not mention about any uterine contractions/ pain/ leaking or bleeding Pregnancy seems to be safe.Still it's better to have a pregnancy check up/ consult your treating doctor for internal examination/ USG scan .. to make sure about safety of baby. Thanks..
