I’m 20 weeks and a car reversed into the front of mine, I was stationary. Should I still get checked over? I’m absolutely fine just a bit stressed and annoyed!

I imagine they weren't going very fast so its highly unlikely anything will be wrong. But if it is making you stressed go and get checked. No point stressing yourself out further to be honest.

I would give the maternity triage a call for advice.

Likelihood is everything is ok. I had an accident at 70mph at 15+5 which was awkward timing as I fell through the cracks. The early pregnancy people didn't want to see me as I was too far along and the maternity triage didn't kick in until 16 weeks. I left a &e told to watch out for bleeding and for movements that hadn't started stopping. Thankfully I had a midwife appointment a few days later and she checked me over and was able to detect the heartbeat. She did warn me beforehand that it was very hit and miss. She flipped the order of the appointment so she did this first to put my mind at ease. Even if maternity triage doesn't want to see you, your midwife might be able to fit you in for an additional appointment. Try not to fret too much they are well cushioned in there but do reach out for reassurance if that would help. They would always rather see you unnecessarily than not see you when you did actually need to be seen. Take care
