your not exempt from wearing a seatbelt during pregnancy, unless you have a medical certificate

you still have to wear a seatbelt - you have to make sure you wear it properly - over and under bump.....I took this from the road safety government website for you babes

Pregnant women

The lap strap should go across the hips, fitting comfortably under the bump, while the diagonal strap should be placed between the breasts and around the bump.

Like all drivers or passengers, pregnant women must wear a seat belt, unless their doctor certifies that they are medically exempt - there is no automatic exemption. Wearing one may not be comfortable, but it improves safety for both mother and unborn baby.

It's a shame that more don't worry about the law and safety concerning seatbelts even when they aren't pregnant.
