Does this sound like whiplash or sprain / strain ? or something else?

Question:

okay, i was in a car accident and the car i was in hit another car in front of us. i was in the front passenger seat kinda turned toward the driver reaching toward the stereo, leaning forward. (i think our car is totalled, btw)

anyhow, a few minutes after it happened my right shoulder felt bruised & sore from the shoulder strap (there is a bit of a bruise there today). then i started getting worse and for a while it hurt to twist my spine at all, like even turning my head. my right arm felt a little numb, kinda like it was asleep. and my middle back along my spine kinda burned & felt pinchy. i also got a bit of a headache

if there was a line drawn from my left hip to my right shoulder, the upper right triangle (my right shoulder & down) made between that & my spine is very sore & kinda burns today (it was the part that was pinchy also last night, but it's not like that today), and the lower left triangle (my lower back on the left) is reallly sore feeling--like i strained it.

Answers:
Yes. Go to a doctor. The fact that you were in an accident and that you are pregnant should be enough to convince you to go to a doctor. You and your baby do not need to be going through this stress. Worrying about it causes stress.

Whiplash usually does not hurt initially but starts to get worse after some time.

There is also a chance you have a slight concusion and or internal injury.

I hope you have insurance.

most definitely something worse..seat belt cause, etc.
