Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy
'
t
Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Like all occupants,
they are more likely to be seriously injured
if
they don't wear safety belts.
A
pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder belt and the lap portion should
be worn as low as possible throughout the pregnancy.
The best way to protect the fetus
is
to protect the mother. When a safety
belt is worn properly, it's more likely that the fetus won't be hurt in a crash.
For pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making safety belts effective
is
wearing them properly.
