Seat belt use during pregnancy
The seat belt should always be used
during pregnancy. The best way to pro-
tect your unborn child is to protect your-
self by always wearing the seat belt. Preg-
nant women should always wear a
lap-shoulder seat belt. Place the shoulder
belt across your chest, routed between
your breasts and away from your neck.
Place the lap belt below your belly so that
it fits SNUGLY across your hips and pelvic
bone, under the rounded part of the belly.
WARNING
• Pregnant women and patients are
more vulnerable to any impacts on the
abdomen during an abrupt stop or ac-
cident. If you are in an accident while
pregnant, consult your doctor.
• To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death to an unborn child during an ac-
cident, pregnant women should NEV-
ER place the lap portion of the seat belt
above or over the area of the abdomen
where the unborn child is located.
