Traveling by car ?

Question

I’m 17 weeks and 2 days today and planning to go on a journey by car but I’m scared to go because I’m doubtful that is it safe to travel by car during pregnancy. It will take about 5-6 hours travel time.

Answer

You can still fly long haul on a plane at 17weeks. 5-6 hrs car ride is fine. If you are worried about sitting with not much room for so long just take a few stops to get out and stretch 😊

Answer

I went 8 hours more pregnant than you. just stop frequently to stretch and pee and you'll be fine

Answer

If your doc says it’s okay, you’ll be fine. Just take frequent stops (maybe every 1-2 hours or so) and wear compression socks.

Answer

It's perfectly safe. And the second trimester is the best time in pregnancy for travel. Just make sure you stop for a stretch and a stroll every two hours. My husband and I will be moving 33 hours across the country later in my second trimester! Pack lots of snacks, dress comfy, wear your seat belt always, and adjust where your seat sits so that you aren't as close to the air bag.

Answer

lol it's perfectly safe

Answer

I don’t see why it wouldn’t be safe to travel by car...how do you expect to get to the hospital during labor? Lol, just make frequent stops to pee and stretch your legs- also wear the lap portion of your seatbelt across the hip bones under your bump.
