N2  - Despite the fact that seat belts have been proved effective in reducing deaths and serious injuries, many pregnant women do not wear seat belts. A study was conducted to examine the seat belt practices of pregnant women. Of the 87 women who were interviewed, 40 reported using seat belts regularly during pregnancy. However, almost one-third of them did not adjust the belts properly for maximum protection. Older women and those with more education were more likely to use their seat belts routinely. Only 20 women recalled receiving information about seat belts during their pregnancies, but 48 women would have liked to receive more information.
