Take a trip to see your doctor or nurse just to put your mind at rest. If you explain what happened they wont mind at all. They may even check the heartbeat just so you can hear it so you know things are good. This is definitely what I would do. I'm sure everythings fine and good luck for the coming weeks!!

There is a lot of cushion supporting that baby. I wouldn't rush into the doctor if you aren't having any cramping or bleeding, but a call would be a good idea.

I was in a bus accident while preggo. I was worried my doc. I was way further along than you and the doc explained to me the same thing ingi said. Any cramping or bleeding go to er if not baby is more than likely okay. S/he is protected by your abdominal muscles and amniotic fluids.

I got into a bad wreck at 35 weeks. She was ok.

I fell on my ass at 36 weeks too! Hard!

I was also in a wreck at about a month pregnant.
