Restraining pregnant inmates presents a real danger to the health of the mother and fetus.  As a mother myself, I needed to be able to move around freely during labor and recovery.  I urge you also take into account the newborn, whose healthy development depends on strong postpartum bonding with mom   The risk of shackling during pregnancy, birth, and recovery is too high.  I respectfully request that you restrict the shackling of pregnant inmates.
