Driving while pregnant...until when?

Question

Did your doctor suggest until when you can drive? Or if it is safe? ...my husband is totally concerned about me driving once we are too far along...I'm 26 weeks today, but I feel totally fine about it. Maybe a little bit over relaxed but I don't even know if that's a bad thing at all!! 😉

Answer

I drove until I went into labor. I don't see why you couldn't.

Answer

I'm sure many pregnant woman drive until they go into labor, because they work until their due date. I'm planning on driving until I start have contractions!

Answer

I'm almost 36 weeks and finding it more and more uncomfortable. I just moved home to the UK from Texas and miss driving my truck. Now I'm in my dad's car and the seating position is completely different, I have to squish a bit to reach enough to put the clutch to the floor which puts pressure on my pelvis and lower stomach. Ugh. Miss my sit upright, drive with one foot, air conditioned, three cup holder, huge ass truck  :(

Answer

My belly touches the wheel. It's very uncomfortable... (I'm just barely 5 feet tall).  I don't have much choice if I want to get to my appointments & out of the house. My husband works 3 hours away & im a SAHM. I will more than likely end up driving myself to the hospital & to drop my daughter off at her grandparents house.

Answer

Answer

I'm at week 35 now, still diving but only my car.
We've been looking at new cars but in too nervous to drive one we don't own yet in case I get BH/contractions during a test drive haha

Answer

I'm 38 weeks 3 days and I still drive whenever I need to. For me it's not uncomfortable yet. My belly is still far from the wheel so I've had no problems driving

Answer

I just posted about this the other day. I adjusted my seat back but I'm at my limit for reaching the pedals. Luckily I work in the small town where I live. But she is almost touching again. The only thing I worry about is getting stuck or in an accident. So I'll probably stop the longer trips when she touches again.
