If : If your uterus, ovaries, etc. Were unaffected in the accident and you get a period once a month then your odds of being able to conceive are probably just as good as the average woman. The only issue i see as being a minor problem is the pelvic fracture you sustained. For this reason your doctor will probably opt to schedule a c-section instead of you trying to deliver vaginally. The reason being is that your pelvis may not be strong enough to sustain the force of a vaginal delivery. Lastly you should see your family doctor or gynecologist for a routine pap smear, at this visit you can bring up your concerns. Best of luck.

Talk to your MD: If you discuss this with your ob/gyn they will be able to help guide you with this concern. The injuries you have mentioned do not by themselves preclude you from having children.
