Two Pregnancies - Why Didn't Anyone Tell Me ? Posted: 05-20-07 08:29am
Early on in my second pregnancy I was in a
minor car accident. Thank God, the baby
was fine, but it wasn't until my accident
that I was told about the danger caused by
wearing a seat belt improperly during
pregnancy. I have had two children, and
not once was I ever told about the
importance of proper seat belt usage.
After my accident I began researching the
topic. I found that the number one cause
of fetal loss is motor vehicle accidents.
Many pregnancies are lost each year due to
women not wearing their seat belts
properly. Given the fact that this topic
is so vital to pregnant women, it's
puzzling as to why there is not more done
to make pregnant women aware. The experts
all recommend that pregnant women should
wear their seat belts under their belly
and over their hips - NEVER ACROSS THEIR
BELLY. This is good to know, but almost
impossible to achieve when the seat belt
tends to rise over the growing belly.
During my research, I found a device that
holds the lap belt under the belly and
even keeps it there during an accident.
Every pregnant woman should know about it.
When I discovered it, I wondered why I
didn't know about it sooner. It's called
the Maternity Seat Belt and I found it at
(url removed - do not advertise on our
forum). Not only did I find it at that
website, but after visiting (removed) I
became much more educated. I was able to
view a crash test and gain life-saving
information, as well as the piece of mind
that the device I ordered was tested and
proven. Reducing the devastating
statistics involving many pregnant women
in automobile accidents is so simple to
do. It is a shame that not more is being
done to bring this subject to light.

I agree - I hate when spammers use forums
to promote their studpid products, but my
post is actually my true experience that
was very scarey. Yes, don't wear your
seat belt over your belly, but knowing
that isn't the hard part - keeping it off
your belly is. I know so many pregnant
women who don't wear their seat belts b/c
they've given up on trying to keep it
under their big bellies. I just thought
this info could help a lot of people.

it doesnt matter if this is a real life
thing or not, its still spamming and its
still a stupid (studpid) product
its not that difficult to keep a seat belt
under your belly
also the fact you stated about car
accidents being the leading cause of fetal
death is completely inaccurate, the
leading cause is "unknown causes" usualy
something to do with chrmasonal problems
or maternal problems which happen very
early, which leads to the high rate of
miscarrige before the 12th week
stop spamming and stop lying
