I drive to office daily and now that im pregnant my MIL is saying band kar do. Im only in first trimester and feeling fine. Is driving actually ok or risky? anyone still driving during pregnancy?
I was so scared of sudden braking and potholes hurting the baby, so I stopped driving completely after my 3rd month. If you do drive, please be extra careful and keep the speed very low.
I drove myself to get pani puri almost every week during my second trimester! Just avoid driving if you feel dizzy or have severe cravings that distract you, and always drive slow.
Personally, I drove my automatic car till my 7th month without any issues. After that, my bump got too big and I felt uncomfortable, so I stopped. That was just my personal comfort level.
Yes, you can drive, but avoid it in the first and third trimesters if possible. Use a cushion for back support and make sure the seatbelt is placed under your bump, not across it.
Driving is generally safe if your pregnancy is uncomplicated. Just avoid bumpy roads and heavy traffic areas to reduce stress. If you feel tired or dizzy, please don't take the wheel.
If you have had any bleeding, high BP, or other complications, please avoid driving. It's always best to ask your gynac if it is safe for your specific condition.
