More specifically, the researchers looked at a model of a third-trimester fetus positioned with its head down, facing the mother’s back. “Our latest research looked specifically at the impacts of sudden acceleration on a pregnant woman.”įor the study, which was published in the latest edition of the Journal of Biomechanics, Mohammadi and his team used new modelling based on data from crash tests and the “fundamental dynamic behaviours” of a pregnant uterus. “There is lots of research about the importance of movement for women during pregnancy,” Mohammadi explained in a press release on Tuesday. Hadi Mohammadi, a University of British Columbia Okanagan researcher and associate professor of mechanical engineering, has published a new study suggesting that accelerating over speed bumps can pose a danger for pregnant women and their fetuses.
Women with baby bumps should be cautious when they encounter another type of bump – speed bumps – while they're driving, according to new research.
