Samhita Radhakrishnan · Answer

I travelled in auto whole pregnancy yaar, just avoid the very bumpy roads and ask him to go slow. Hold the rod and dont sit on the edge. Its fine for normal pregnancies.

Totally fine for normal pregnancy, just avoid the jerky bumpy roads.

Harshita Chakraborty · Answer

If your pregnancy is normal its okay, but I had some bleeding early on so my doc told me avoid bumpy travel for a while. Depends on your case, maybe just ask your gynac once.

It's generally safe, the baby is well cushioned. Just avoid long bumpy rides, sit holding support and dont rush. If road is bad, go slow, no need to fear normal travel.

I take auto daily to work and was worried too. So far totally fine, I just sit properly in middle and hold tight. Anyone faced issue from auto rides in first trimester?
