We have a family function out of town and the roads there are really bad, full of potholes. Im only 6 weeks and now im scared the jerks will harm the baby. Has anyone travelled on bumpy roads this early?
Normal travel is fine, no need to book fancy cabs out of fear. I just chose the smoother road even if longer, and avoided the worst stretches. If you're really worried just mention it at ur next checkup, no extra cost.
I commuted daily on bad roads in autos during early weeks, no choice with work. Was perfectly fine. Just sit comfortable, hold the support, and break the journey if you can.
Honestly the baby is well cushioned inside, one normal bumpy ride wont harm. Both times I travelled on bad roads early on and was fine. Just wear seatbelt and dont do it daily for hours.
I used to panic about exactly this, every pothole made me hold my tummy. But everyone told me a single bumpy ride doesnt cause problems. Still I avoided rough roads just for my own peace of mind.
Generally a short bumpy ride is okay. But since you're asking, if you have any history of bleeding or your doctor has said you're high risk, better avoid long rough travel and confirm with ur gynac first.
