Safety Belt Use During
Pregnancy
Safety belts work for everyone, including
pregnant women. Like all occupants, the)
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 wearine
them properly.
