A member asked:

I've heard that car accidents while pregnant can cause abruption. i had a close call at 5-30mph. i braced with my hands, but should i get seen anyway?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Symptoms?: If you have abdominal pain, bleeding, or contractions, go in to be seen. If you are not having symptoms, you did not have an abruption.
