Get pedal extenders put in if you can't reach the pedals when you are far enough away from the wheel. Don’t forget to be back away from the steering wheel!

I was involved in a rollover car accident on a highway when 14 weeks pregnant. My c1 and c2 vertebrae were broken and I spent 6 months in a large cervical neck brace, but the baby was blessedly fine. I am sure the outcome would have been very different for both of us had I not been seat belted.

I was rear-ended last year in a car crash at 35 weeks pregnant. I was wearing my seat belt and I am sure my stomach would have collided with the console in front had I not been wearing my seat belt. An overnight stay at the hospital confirmed the baby was fine and some fluids stopped preterm labor. Hooray for seatbelts! Thank you for this article!
