Trauma: Sounds like you will be ok. But I think you are asking about your unborn child. S/he is protected in a sea of amniotic fluid and should not ber harmed by this occurence.

Jaw trauma: Sounds like slight concussion symptoms. your should recover quickly, but if not feeling better in 48 hourw contact your General Physician. Also, report the injury to your General Dentist. Report the injury to your OBGyn at your next regular check-up. As the traumatic insult was to your jaw and not your abdomen, your baby should be just fine.
