Pregnant women should wear seat belts, not only to save themselves in the event of a car accident but also to save their unborn baby.

Quoting a Texas study from American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Dr KK Aggarwal, President, Heart Care Foundation of India and Editor eMedinewS said that over half of all fetal losses in motor–vehicle crashes –– could be saved if pregnant women buckled up properly.

Even if a fetus survives, premature delivery as a result of the crash can lead to low birth weight, respiratory problems and long–term physical or neurological problems.

As per the researchers at the University of Michigan the survival of the fetus was most strongly associated with the severity of the crash and how badly the mother is injured. Fetuses are 4.5 times more likely to survive if the mother is wearing the proper seat belt.

The other notable findings of the study were:

Regular use of seat belts by pregnant women will prevent 84 percent of fetal injuries and deaths as a result of car accidents.

Women in car crashes where the fetus is injured or dies are unbelted 62 percent of the time.

79 percent of pregnant women who properly wore a three–point belt, with or without air bag deployment, had ‘acceptable’ fetal outcomes in less severe crashes.

Air bags do not seem to adversely affect fetal outcomes.

For pregnant women, the lap–belt portion needs to be worn low over the pelvis so if there is a crash, basically, the bony pelvis is what the seat belt is restraining rather than (having the force) transmitted to the uterus or the abdomen.

The shoulder belt should simply come up from the side, go between the woman’s breasts, and over the shoulder

  1. Hi all, – uncovered your web site due to pure luck while wandering across the internet this evening, and glad that i did! I like the structure and colors, but I have to mention that I’m having difficulties when it loads. I’m making use of iCab 4 internet browser for mac, and the header will not line up nicely. i am confident I’ve employed a matching design on a client’s online site, but the menu seems fine on mine. I imagine the problem is at my end & I suppose it’s the perfect time to update!

  2. Has anyone else heard that Jack3d can be detrimenntal to your muscle growth? Ive been using Jack3d since it came out and loved the stuff. After reading some of the reviews online though, I may go back to using NO Xplode! What do other users think is the best pre workout supplement out there?

  3. Hi there! I found your website by chance this evening, but am incredibly pleased that I did! Not only is it attractive, but also straightforward to use as opposed to dozens that I’ve viewed! I was trying to find out what theme you had used, – anyone have any clue? I’ve utilized a similar overall design and style myself, but discover that your web site loads far more quickly, although you seem to have a lot far more material. The only dilemma I’ve had is with the header, which seems less wide that the actual page in Opera v8.0, although it appears OK in IE and in firefox… perhaps it’s time to change! Good internet site, very tidy job, and a great inspiration for my humble attempt! I’ll be looking to enhance my own web site and will undoubtedly stop by again soon!

  8. Real cars of the future are not vehicles that will roll on four wheels and look like sleek streaks of lightning or oblong tear drops that hum instead of roar. No, the true prospect of visionary transport is not bound by the winding roads but by the rush of the winds in the sky.
