Im in my 5th month and have to take an auto daily for my checkups, roads here are full of potholes yaar. The jhatkas make me thoda nervous, kahin baby ko koi problem na ho. Anyone else travelling by auto regularly, is it ok?
I had thyroid issues during pregnancy and travel was always tricky. Always consult your doc first. I had to monitor my levels monthly and got specific travel advice from my doctor.
My doctor told me that while auto travel isn't completely banned, the main danger is sudden jerks and bad roads. She advised to sit in the middle of the seat, hold on tight, and avoid it in the first and third trimesters if possible.
I'm still trying to conceive, but I always think about this when I see women in autos. It feels like we should be very careful, maybe avoid bumpy roads if we can.
Honestly, travelling in an auto is fine if u are careful, but those potholes can be brutal. Better to ask the driver to go slow or just stick to cabs if it is your first trimester.
I tracked my daily activity on apps during my pregnancy, and they also suggested avoiding bumpy rides in the first trimester. If u must go by auto, make sure to tell the bhaiya to go super slow.
I am planning my pregnancy soon and I also keep wondering about this! Is it really that risky with all the bad roads here, or do people actually manage daily?
Honestly, safety comes first. Better to check with your gynac directly before traveling in an auto, especially since every pregnancy is different and some have complications.
