Taking the road test
I hope this the right place to post this. Do any of you pregnant women take the road test? My wife took the permit test while she was pregnant a month or two ago. Now she is almost 8 months. Her due date is 11/15/10. She want it to know if she can take the road test while she is pregnant. What are the odds of her taking the road test? Last time we went for a check up and the mid wife says that the baby head is down where the vagina is. When she put on the sit belt will the sit belt harm the baby's head in anyway. I do know that the stomach is very thin. I also experience when my wife wants to sleep on a side and the baby start kicking. She was all most half awake one night. I was snoozing like a pig. I think I was counting sheeps in my head. lol
I do not see why she would not be allowed to take a road test, being pregnant won't change her ability to drive unless of course she goes into labor mid test. As for the seat belt...it won't do anything to her stomach or the baby. The belt itself is not tight enough to cause any problems and the uterine lining holding the baby right now is extremely strong.
There are those who believe that dictionaries should not merely reflect the times but also protect English from the mindless assaults of the trendy.
The baby is extraordinarily protected. I don't see how a seatbelt would harm it UNLESS she got into a high-speed accident where she had to heavily rely on the seatbelt to keep her from flying through the windshield.

Experts agree that everyone, including pregnant women, should wear a seat belt when riding in a car. When used properly, seat belts save lives and lower the chances of severe injury during car crashes.
Depending on how severe the car accident is, pregnant women could be at risk for miscarriage, preterm labor and other serious complications. In fact, the more injuries a mother has during a car accident, the greater the risk to her unborn baby. If the pregnant woman is wearing her seat belt properly at the time of the accident, she and her baby will face fewer injuries.
There are nearly 170,000 car crashes involving pregnant women every year. So it’s important for moms in all stages of pregnancy to properly wear seat belts at all times when traveling in a car.
Guidelines for Wearing a Seat Belt
* Always wear both the lap and shoulder belt.
* Buckle the lap strap under your belly and over your hips.
* Never place the lap belt across your belly.
* Rest the shoulder belt between your breasts and off to the side of your belly.
* Never place the shoulder belt under your arm.
* If possible, adjust the shoulder belt height to fit you correctly.
* Make sure the seat belt fits snugly.
Other Helpful Tips
* Driving can be tiring for anyone. Try to limit driving to no more than 5-6 hours per day.
* Never turn off the air bags if your car has them. Instead, tilt your car seat and move it as far as possible from the dashboard or steering wheel.
* If you are in a crash, get treatment right away to protect yourself and your baby.
* Call your health provider at once if you have contractions, pain in your belly, or blood or fluid leaking from your vagina.
