Just got in a wreck

thank God I wasn't hurt.  It hurt my car.  Just wondering if there was no pain if I should or should not go to doctor just to check on baby.  Sounds like a dumb question but...

You need to go see doctor.  I work in auto insurance claims.  I've seen far too many sad situations from auto accidents and pregnant women not seeking medical attention for this same reason,  feeling fine.  A little jar from a wreck can cause a lot to happen in the womb that you may not feel right away.  It's better to be safe and go get checked.  Just my input!

You may be fine, but it's the baby that needs to be checked, you don't know if the impact had any effect on the placenta. You could be fine now then some hours later start getting some discomfort. As a nurse I strongly urge you to go see your doc and make sure that baby is fine. I would not leave this up to chance, that's my opinion.

I wasn't that concerned.  If I was hurting I would think I should go.  But considering I feel perfectly fine I think I'll just save myself the long wait of the doc office.

I went in when I crashed my car but only cuz I was paranoid when I called my Dr they didn't seem concerned they just basically told me they believe I am fine but just to get checked out but no rush

I got into an accident with my daughter and I was not injured just the car was totalled I was a bit sore a few days later from holding on so tight baby is safe with lots of padding you can go it just to be safe but if you feel ok not bleeding or anything and baby is still moving I wouldnt be to concerned

Yes you need to go and be checked out. I'm surprised the cops didn't make you go then.
