On the way to pick up my son from daycare today I was in a minor car accident on the main highway through my city. Thankfully, my son wasn't in the car. I feel physically fine, and emotionally so too, so I declined going to the emergency room in the ambulance. My husband is away, and we have no one to watch our son, so this may have factored into the decision, but only very slightly. However, if the car accident had been more severe, or I was much more advanced in my pregnancy, of course I would have gone in right away.

I have an appt on Thursday morning to confirm my pregnancy with my family doctor and be referred to my OB. However, I am going to go in tomorrow to our clinic to be checked over just to be safe.

I was just wondering if anyone had experienced something similar, either a car accident or a fall, in their first trimester? I'll update everyone with the results of my doctor's appt tomorrow.
