Seat belts work for everyone, including pregnant women. Like all occupants, they are more likely to be seriously injured if they do not wear seat belts.

GMC Terrain. Seat Belt Use During Pregnancy

A pregnant woman should wear the lap-shoulder belt, and the lap portion should be worn as low as possible, below the bulge, throughout the pregnancy.
