Seat belt use in Pregnancy.

by Christine Hill

question
Is it safe to use a seat belt during pregnancy especially during the last month? I find it very uncomfortable.

answer
Yes, it is safe to use a seat belt, as long as you use top and bottom belts and the lap belt is placed on your thighs rather than your tummy. It should sit under the bump. I agree, it is very uncomfortable, but it is unsafe and also illegal not to. (Even if you are nine months pregnant.)
