It's always a good idea to get checked out by a doctor. If the hit wasn't too hard, it's probably just whiplash and some bruising from the seat belt. It'll pass in a few days. Since you're pregnant and can't take too much medication, I'd recommend keeping heat on the sore areas and using a topical ointment such as Tiger Balm to help ease the pain.
YES - see a doctor. You have whiplash, which can take days to appear and weeks to go away. After seeing your doctor, call an attorney specializing in personal injury; he/she can file a lawsuit against the other driver to have him/her pay for all medical bills and possible damages as well.
You need to get checked for sprains, concusion and internal injuries. I have a friend who was in a similar situation and had to have some sort of rehabilitation for her shoulder where she would go to the doctor twice a week for some excercises...
Whiplash is a biatch, your injuries could be a lot more serious than they appear...
I hope you have insurance.
You are pregnant?? Go to your doctor and get it all checked out...NOW
