Can we travel in bus during early pregnancy?

Question

I have to go to my parents place which is a 4 hour bus journey and im just 8 weeks. The roads are quite bumpy and im a little worried. Is bus travel fine in early days or should i avoid?

Muskan Barik · Answer

Bus travel is okay in early pregnancy generally. Avoid very long bumpy rides, take breaks and dont stand for long. If you have any bleeding or pain history, check with your doctor first.

Short bus rides are usually fine, but for long journeys or if youre high risk, ask your gynac. Sudden jerks on bad roads are the main thing to avoid.

I used buses throughout to save money and managed fine. Just pick less crowded times and a comfortable seat. Keep your reports and water bottle in your bag always.

Haan beta I travelled by bus often in my early months, it was fine. Just take an aisle or window seat, hold on properly and avoid the very bumpy back seats. Carry water and a small snack.
