I just wanted to express my opinion in favor of restricting heavy restraints on pregnant women who are going into labor, en route to the hospital and in the hospital.
As long as the person isn't a danger to herself or others, she should have the least amount of restraints possible to ensure that the baby's life is not endangered in any way during the birth.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Kristin Zwanzig
