I ride my scooty to office daily and im now 4 months. The roads here are so bumpy that i get worried thoda. Is it ok to continue or should i stop? what did u all do?
Look, riding in the first and third trimesters is quite risky because of sudden speed breakers and balance issues. If you have no other option, ride extremely slowly on known roads, but ideally, you should avoid it and take an auto or cab.
It's better to avoid driving a two-wheeler, especially on Indian roads with so many potholes. If u really must go, drive very slowly and avoid jerky roads.
I panicked so much when I had to ride a scooter in my first trimester because of work! But honestly, my doctor said if the roads are fine and I ride slowly, it's okay in the early months. Just don't stress, drive carefully, and avoid bad roads completely.
I am planning to conceive soon and also worry about this since scooty is my main way of commuting to office. Do most doctors advise stopping completely, or is it okay if we ride very slowly?
When I was pregnant, my parents and husband strictly refused to let me touch my scooty! They insisted on dropping me everywhere because of the bad road conditions and heavy traffic. If you have family who can help u commute, please take their help and avoid riding.
Honestly, our Indian roads are like a roller coaster ride! I avoided driving myself and preferred auto or car instead to stay safe from sudden jerks and potholes. Better to be safe than sorry, dear!
Since my pregnancy was already thoda complicated with gestational diabetes, my doctor told me to avoid any physical risks like riding a scooty. Sudden jerks on bad roads can sometimes cause spotting or complications, so try to use a car or public transport if possible.
