Is it Safe to Wear a Seatbelt During Dregnancy?

Is it Safe to Wear a Seatbelt During Dregnancy?
The one question we get asked regularly on Instagram and Facebook is: "should I be wearing a seatbelt while pregnant" or "is it safe to wear a seatbelt during pregnancy"

And the short answer is: Yes.
You should always wear a seatbelt. In states like Arkansas, it's even required by law. If a police officer stops you while driving without your seatbelt on you are subject to a fine.
Most crash fatalities occur within 25 miles of home and at speeds of less than 40 mph. This could lead to fatal injuries to you and your unborn baby. That's why you should always wear a seatbelt when driving. The regular seatbelt is designed for safety, but during pregnancy, it can apply pressure to the belly, which may lead to discomfort.
