High-Risk Pregnancy

Year Old Hip Injury
Hey ladies! I don't know if I'm going to be considered high risk or not, but this was the best place I could think to post.
Has anyone else here had any major hip injuries before their pregnancies? If so, did any of you have early pain issues that concerned you?
I'm a first timer about 4 1/2 weeks along, and I was in a bad motorcycle wreck a year ago. The right side of my hip was fractured in several places and torn almost off my spine. I had to have a bunch of plates and screws put in for the fractures and a giant bolt inserted to fuse my hip to my spine. I also suffered neurological complications of the surgery, and I have total foot drop partially paralyzed leg/foot.
I just found out I am pregnant on Saturday, and pelvic/back pain started almost immediately. I haven't had ANY bleeding, and the abdominal pain is mild, but it is persistent, and it's primarily in the upper groin/lower abdomen on my right side. My back pain feels eerily like the pain from my hip fusion after surgery I have short, sharp pains on the right side of my spine when I step my weight on my right side. When I'm not standing, that pain is gone and all that's left is a little lingering soreness in the same spot, and that makes me feel a little better.
Still, I am so scared my pain is a sign of some problem with the pregnancy. I couldn't get an appt with the OB until next Thursday, so I have another week of waiting and wondering.
Does anyone else have any experience with this kind of thing??
