Safety Belt
Use
During
Prepncy
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.
