A mum who had a terrifying car crash at 38 weeks pregnant says expectant parents should wear adaptable seatbelts - because she was "lucky". Louise Woodhead, 29, was driving with her partner Ben Rafferty, 32, and a friend when a car crashed into her when trying to overtake a tractor in June this year.
Louise was taken in an ambulance to hospital, where they ran an ultrasound and CT scan to check the baby was ok. She suffered extensive bruising across her stomach and thighs but welcomed her baby boy Sullivan, now three months old, on July 4 2023, weighing 7lbs 4oz. “It pushed me off the road and hit my side of the car. The impact hit me and all the airbags came out. I was scared to death about the baby. My stomach was black and looked really bad.
“It’s not what you want at 38 weeks pregnant.” She was blue lighted to Northern general hospital before they were able to check the baby's heartbeat and Louise was reassured her unborn baby was ok. A further internal examination and Chesterfield Royal Hospital confirmed her placenta was intact. Louise said: “They checked the heartbeat.
