The length of time would depend on the type of assault and the jurisdiction where the crime was committed. Call your local police department's non-emergency (or main) phone number and ask them what you need to know and what you need to do.

How long do you have to press charges for being assaulted while you are pregnant?

I would suggest doing it immediately. But it really depends on the state. Generally you first file a police report and then you have a year to press charges. Since you are pregnant, the police MAY do it for you, but you usually have to do it yourself.


Can you press charges for assault 2 days later?

Yes, usually. The statute of limitations for assault is ordinarily at least a year or two (longer in some places, shorter in others, each place has its own law). During that time you could certainly go to the police and tell them about the assault and ask that charges be pressed. Here's the thing: when you bring a case to the authorities, THEY ultimately get to choose whether the case will be pursued. If they don't think that they can make a case because you waited too long to come to them, or the evidence is no longer fresh, then you are out of luck, whether you want to press charges or not. Also, remember that pressing charges isn't the only remedy. You could get a lawyer and pursue a civil case or get an order of protection.
