I drive myself to office and it is about 25 minutes one side. Now that I am pregnant, my husband is worried even though I feel okay. Until which month did you drive?
Yes I drove to work till my 7th month, just kept the seatbelt on properly (belt below the bump, not across it) and took breaks. Once the belly was big and reaching the wheel got awkward, I stopped. Totally doable with care.
I'd just say go by how ur pregnancy is. Mine was a bit high risk so my doc told me to avoid driving long. If urs is smooth, short drives are usually okay. Ask ur gynac to be safe.
Driving is fine for most of the pregnancy if u feel comfortable and alert. Wear the seatbelt correctly. In the last weeks I stopped coz the bump and tiredness made it harder. Use ur judgement each day.
Generally yes, especially early and mid pregnancy, with the seatbelt worn correctly under the belly. As you get bigger or if you feel uncomfortable, hand it to someone else. Confirm with your doctor if unsure.
I drove around the city the whole time except last month. Belt on, seat adjusted, no long highway stress. If u feel dizzy or very tired any day, dont drive that day, simple.
