3 weeks 6 days and I had to slam on my brakes today

I had to slam on my brakes today because someone almost slammed into my drivers side. I felt the seatbelt go into my neck. Not sure if there was pressure on my stomach. This is my first pregnancy and I am very nervous because I am newly pregnant. I have read post about expecting moms much later in their pregnancy but no one extremely early like me.

Call your doc and ask, but especially at that gestation baby is very protected inside your pelvis. If you are not in pain you are likely fine.

Definitely call your provider for guidance, but I had a full on collision at 8 weeks 3 days and called my midwives. They did ask questions about speed (25 mph), type of collision (I hit someone who was running a red light), whether I had any cramping or bleeding (no), then I was told that at these early stages, your uterus is still very protected by the bones of your pelvis. That was 7 weeks ago and all is still fine at 15 weeks, though I know how incredibly anxiety-inducing it is.
