Could Fetus Damage Occur Due To The Go-kart Ride?

My daughter is 18 wks pregnant & went on a go-kart ride last night & someone hit the kart she was in causing it to spin & then another cart rammed into her. She said she felt no pain & has had no bleeding, but can't this still cause damage to the child?

Hello and welcome.

The whiplash like injury could have caused a little stress to the fetus, but it does not seem like there has been any harm done. But I would recommend a doctors examination and an ultrasound investigation just to make sure all is well.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
