Safety belts work for-everyonej 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 w.orn as low as possible, below
the rounding, 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. ef€ective- is wearing them properly.

way as the driver’s safety-belt. See “Driver Position”
