Car accident today and shaken

Hi guys, need a bit of a hand hold. 22wks + 2 days and was in my first car accident today. I was in a large car park area , and I moved over on the road so I could swing round to go into a bay on my left. Opposite those bays is a junction and the women coming out of it wasn't looking and started to pull out so I stopped and assumed she would see me eventually and stop herself. For some reason the women kept her eyes looking right to see if a car was coming from that way and continued to pull right out into the main road and and collided into me. I am so annoyed at myself because I clearly saw she wasn't looking, stopped with my car angled to turn into the bay but for some reason I just completely froze and forgot to use my horn to get her to look and see she was going to crash into me.

I've been up day care and my little boys heartbeat is normal, but I am still scared and disappointed in myself for freezing up and potentially putting him at harm. Luckily it was a minor crash as my car was stationary and she was only going slow out of the junction but it has shaken me up, and I'm worried I might not feel comfortable driving for the rest of my pregnancy. Has anyone else been in similar situation and has any advice on how to feel comfortable driving again?

Never been in that situation but just want to say that I'm glad you and baby are ok, that's all that matters :-)

Don't beat yourself up about it, I forgot to turn my headlights on the other day and could have put my bump at risk- baby brain.
