Correct answer
No, unless they hold an exemption certificate for serious medical reasons.
As a general rule, pregnant women are not exempt from the obligation to wear a seatbelt when travelling in a vehicle. Wearing a seatbelt is crucial for the safety of both the mother and the developing baby, and correct use has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident. However, there is an exception to this rule. If a pregnant woman has serious medical reasons that make wearing a seatbelt unsuitable or dangerous for her health or that of the baby, she may be exempt from this obligation. To benefit from this exemption, an exemption certificate issued by a qualified medical professional is required. This certificate must be presented to traffic officers if requested.
