The 22-year-old woman, who is eight months pregnant, had parked at Yew Tree car park, opposite Frogmoor Lane, at around 7.50pm on Sunday when two Asian men, believed to have been lying in wait, approached her.
The victim tried to run away but was dragged to the ground and pinned down. A noxious substance was sprayed into her eyes before the thieves took her car keys and smashed her phone.
The men escaped in the woman's grey coloured VW Golf. It had an on-board tracker and the vehicle has since been recovered and retained for forensic examination.
Sergeant Philip Poole, who is leading the investigation, said: "The pregnant victim was taken to hospital where she and unborn baby were monitored and treated for minor injuries – both are doing well.
"Nevertheless, it was a shocking attack against a heavily pregnant woman and the outcome could have been far worse. We need to identify the offenders before they are able to attack again.
"We've secured CCTV and recovered the car, but we're still appealing to anyone who was in the area at the time and saw anything suspicious, or has any other information which they believe will assist the investigation to come forward."
Anyone with information is asked to contact police, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
