Safety
Belt
Use
During
Pregnancy
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.
