I need to travel for work sometimes, and often I have to take an auto-rickshaw. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm wondering if the bumpy rides are safe for the baby. Should I avoid autos completely?
Oh god, please avoid autos if you can, our Indian roads are so full of potholes! I used to get so anxious every time the auto bumped, fearing it would cause some issue. If you must go, tell the driver to go super slow and sit on the middle of the seat.
Hey, don't stress too much! Autos are fine for short distances, just make sure the driver isn't driving like he's in a race. If you feel uncomfortable, just ask him to stop. Take it easy!
I had bleeding in my first trimester, so my doctor completely banned auto travel. Please check with your gynac first because if you have a low-lying placenta or any complication, autos can be risky.
Yaar, actually in Mumbai we can't avoid autos! I traveled in them throughout my pregnancy, but I always told the bhaiyya 'bhaiyya, bump pe slow lo'. Just avoid the back seat and sit comfortably.
I remember being so scared of traveling during my pregnancy. But looking at my healthy baby now, I realize our bodies are stronger than we think. Just avoid bad roads and hold your tummy gently if there's a bump.
I am currently trying to conceive and even I feel scared of traveling in autos because of the bumpy roads. It is better to be a bit careful and use a cab if possible, just for peace of mind.
My saas strictly told me no auto rides in the first and last trimester because of the sudden jerks. If you absolutely have to travel, please ask the driver to drive carefully. Safe side rehena hi acha hai ghar pe sab bolte hain.
