Pregnant women should also sit

upright and as far back as possible

from the steering wheel or

dashboard. This will reduce the risk

of injuries to both the mother and

her unborn child that can be caused

by a crash or an inflating airbag.

Each time you have a check-up, ask

your doctor if it’s okay for you to

drive.

Because protecting the mother is the

best way to protect her unborn child,

a pregnant woman should always

wear a seat belt whenever she drives

or rides in a vehicle.

Remember to keep the lap portion of

the belt as low as possible across

your hips.

All passengers

must sit in locked, upright seats

and be properly restrained by seat

belts.

A passenger who is not

wearing a seat belt during a crash

or emergency stop can be thrown

against the inside of the vehicle,

against other occupants, or out of

the vehicle.

If they do, they

couldbeveryseriouslyinjuredina

crash.

Advice for Pregnant Women Additional Safety Precautions
