They put me under before I could ask if she was still alive. That's the part I can't forget. Not the crash. The ceiling lights of the operating room moving past me... ...and nobody answering my question. I was 34 weeks pregnant. A truck pulled out in front of me three minutes from my house. It wasn't even a bad crash. I walked to the ambulance myself. But I'd spent that entire pregnancy fighting my seatbelt. Tuck it under the bump... ...it slides back up. Every. Single. Drive. By the third trimester... ...I'd just given up and let it sit across my belly. Because what else do you do? So when that truck hit... ...the seatbelt did exactly what it was always going to do. It dug into the one place it should never have been. Two days of monitoring. Then her heart rate dropped. Suddenly there were six people in my room... ...and a consent form in front of me. Emergency C-section. Four weeks early. She lived. She's asleep on my chest right now, actually. Everyone keeps telling me how lucky we are. And they're right. And I hate it. Because I never got to hold her first. My husband did. In the NICU. While I was still being stitched back together in another room. I spent the first week of her life recovering from a surgery I never chose... ...shuffling down a hospital corridor just to visit my own daughter. Here's what I found out afterwards. And it's the real reason I'm writing this. The seatbelt already in your car has never been crash-tested on a pregnant body. Not once. It's tested on a crash-test dummy built like a 5'10" man. The lap belt is designed to sit across your hip bones. But once you have a bump... ...those hips are buried. So the belt rides up. Onto your baby. It's not you wearing it wrong. There is no perfect way to wear it once your bump changes the geometry. I'm pregnant again now. 22 weeks. And this time... ...there's a little clip in my car called the MimiBelt. It anchors to the seat... ...and keeps the lap belt low across my hips... ...where the bone is. It physically can't ride up onto my bump. It's the only seatbelt positioner that's actually been crash-tested for pregnant women. $35. Money-back guarantee. I would have paid anything to have known about it two years ago. If you're pregnant... ...and you've been quietly fighting your seatbelt every single drive... ...that feeling is real. Please don't let it come down to luck... ...like it did for me. Link below. ❤️
