If you were badly hurt, you could sue; but if--
1) you were not hurt at all, there is no lawsuit; the law does not provide compensation for what could have happened, but only for what did, and so with no injury, there is no lawsuit;
2) you were hurt slightly, you could technically sue, but since the amount of compensation is equivalent to the injury and the medical costs, with a minor injury, it's generally not worth suing, since you could spend more on the lawsuit then you'd get back.
Only if there was a significant injury or medical costs, would a lawsuit generally be worthwhile. The fact that ou are pregnant is irrelevant, unless your baby was harmed.
