Don't wear your seatbelt like this in pregnancy!

Wearing a seatbelt properly during pregnancy is crucial for both your safety and the safety of your unborn child. Here are some tips for safely wearing a seatbelt during pregnancy: 1. **Position the lap belt correctly**: Place the lap belt under your belly, across your hips, and pelvis—not directly on your belly. It should fit snugly and lie flat across your thighs and hips, not on your abdomen. 2. **Use the shoulder belt properly**: The shoulder belt should fit snugly between your breasts and over your shoulder. It should never be placed under your arm or behind your back. 3. **Adjust the seat**: Adjust the seat so you can sit comfortably with your back firmly against the seatback and your feet able to reach the pedals without stretching. 4. **Pull the seatbelt snug**: Make sure the seatbelt is securely fastened and snug, but not too tight that it causes discomfort or restricts movement. 5. **Wear comfortable clothing**: Avoid wearing bulky clothing that may interfere with the proper fit of the seatbelt. Opt for loose-fitting clothing that allows the seatbelt to fit properly. 6. **Sit upright**: Sit upright and as far back in the seat as possible, with your back against the seatback. 7. **Regularly check the seatbelt**: Ensure that the seatbelt is in good condition and properly adjusted each time you get into the car. Remember, wearing a seatbelt is one of the most effective ways to protect yourself and your baby in the event of a car accident. Always prioritize safety when traveling, especially during pregnancy.
