It is bad?

There is a lot of existing rumor about pregnancy and driving, but it is fully proven to be as safe as for a non-pregnant woman.

During the first trimester of pregnancy, the risk is that of spontaneous abortion, a fact that can occur in any other situation and not driving exclusively, so care must be maximum without going crazy.

In the third trimester, on the contrary, there is more risk when driving, than for a person who is not pregnant, since the abdominal volume is such that it can be difficult to reach the pedals and be able to control well the steering wheel without rubbing the gut, emphasizing women of medium-low stature.

Really, being careful, almost everything can be done, although from the sixth month, if another person could drive, it would not be a bad idea.

Seat belt

It is necessary that it be of three anchors, since if the currents are used, of two anchors, it can overpress the belly and not be all good.

Position the belt well

The upper part of the belt should be placed between the breasts and the upper part of it, below the abdomen, never on the belly to avoid injury, with the seat as straight as possible and the headrest at head level. In this way damage will be avoided, protecting the health of the mother and the future baby.

Weeks and days during pregnancy go by very quickly and the future mother does not have to abandon her daily routines, such as going to work, being necessary in most cases, to travel by car. Well, following the guidelines established by the DGT, there does not have to be problems.
