A Scottish doctor and her incredible accent have gone viral for all the right reasons this week, after she took to TikTok with a life-saving seatbelt tip for expectant mothers.
Dr. Katie Waldman, an emergency room specialist in Australia, says she was working in the emergency department when she found herself treating a patient in her third trimester of pregnancy. The patient had been involved in a car accident, which prompted Katie to ask her how she had been wearing her seatbelt at the time of the crash.
Katie, who was 34-weeks pregnant herself at the time of filming, demonstrated in her car that the patient had been wearing her seatbelt directly across the middle of her baby bump. That’s when it hit Katie that some women may not know the safest way to be buckled while traveling in a vehicle during pregnancy. And even a minor car accident can cause a pregnant woman to miscarry if she isn’t strapped in properly.
