Cars, drinks, drugs: Things you may have heard about like cat litter, unpasteurized cheese, can indeed cause problems, but by far the most common cause of injury in pregnancy is car accidents: ride up front with airbags; use a lap belt normally but position the shoulder strap to the side of your belly then between the breasts. Alcohol, smoke, and pharmaceutical or illicit drug exposure commonly cause problems as well.
