if I was in a slight car accident will my Dr. just listen to the heartbeat or do an ultrasound

Yes, even a finder bender you would wanna get checked out

Did you go to the ER? Typically they take you there to be monitored for a few hours from the scene if pregnant.

@karnamarie, do they do both do you know? I'm too early for regular movement but I am feeling baby move and the heartbeat is normal on my doppler so if there's no ultrasound done I'm not sure there's a point! (I'm waiting for Dr. to call back)

@dang_dridri, it was very slight there was no medical on scene but I'm waiting for my doctor to call back to say if she wants to see me!

@autumnrae They will monitor the heart rate and check you out as well. I don't know about an ultrasound unless there is something abnormal with the heart rate or they notice an amiotic leak. They will want to see you though just to make sure nothing is wrong with the sack or baby.

Well she may have you go in to be monitored for a few hours (it's usually about 4 hours) and they may do an ultrasound. If it wasn't too bad she may have you come in tomorrow for one. With the ultrasound they can see and hear the heartbeat as well as see the baby.

@karnamarie, Okay thank you!! I'm just waiting to hear back now!

Also, they might want to check your placenta. (via ultrasound)
