Many people believe that pregnant women should not wear seat belts for fear of strangling the fetus in their belly. What we want to tell you is that this kind of thinking is wrong. ——Just the night before yesterday, a rear-end collision occurred on the Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway. There were two pregnant women in the accident car. The pregnant woman, who was not wearing a seat belt, was seriously injured. abortion.
At 11:52 pm the day before yesterday, on the Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway in Xiaoshan. A Skoda car is heading to Hangzhou. Suddenly, the big truck in front slammed on the brakes. The Skoda was too close to the car and the road was slippery. The driver, Mr. Shen, couldn\’t avoid it and crashed into it. The accident caused serious damage to the Skoda sedan. What worries the police the most is that when they received the call, they heard that there were two pregnant women sitting in the car.
In the Skoda car, except for the driver Mr. Shen, his wife and sister-in-law were both pregnant, one was 5 months old and the other was 4 months old. \”When we arrived, Mr. Shen had already rescued two pregnant women from the car. At that time, all three of them were still in a state of shock. His wife was holding her stomach and crying bitterly.\”
The police learned that two pregnant women were sitting in the back seat at the time. She was wearing a seat belt at first, but later Mr. Shen\’s wife found it uncomfortable and took it off midway. As a result, the abdomen hit the front seat during the impact.
The police quickly sent the two pregnant women to the hospital for examination. At present, my sister-in-law is just scared and nothing serious. Teacher Shen’s wife was seriously injured. Fortunately, he received timely treatment and his condition improved, but further examination is still needed.
The traffic police said that in fact, many people mistakenly believe that pregnant women do not need to wear seat belts, which can easily injure the fetus in the abdomen. In fact it\’s quite the opposite. If you do not wear a seat belt, once an accident occurs, especially when driving at high speed, it will be more harmful to the fetus and pregnant women.
Overseas, a survey was conducted on 126 pregnant women who had been involved in car accidents. These pregnant women are in their second or third trimester. According to the survey, among the 86 pregnant women who were wearing seat belts during a car accident, the fetal mortality rate was 3.5%, while among the 12 pregnant women who were not wearing seat belts, the fetal mortality rate was as high as 25%.
It can be seen that pregnant women should still wear seat belts like ordinary travelers in the car. However, pregnant women are more particular about wearing seat belts.
The traffic police also reminded that once the belly protrudes, you can no longer wear a seat belt. At this time, pregnant women should avoid traveling by car. Driving is more dangerous, especially later in pregnancy. Steering wheels and airbags can both harm a fetus in a traffic accident.
