Safety Belt
Use
During Pregnancy
Safety belts work for everyone, including presnant
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. below
the
rounding, throughout the pregnancy.
The best way
to
protect the fetus
is

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 then1 properly.
