In my last pregnancy I drive since week Can it be the case that because of driving my baby is in that position??? Hi Ana, Based on my experience being pregnant 3x and driving, I do not believe this is the case. However, since we are car safety experts not doctors, we would recommend you talk to your doctor or midwife about it. I am 33 weeks pregnant working woman and i drive by myself to work.
My doctor suggested driving until I feel comfortable. My wife had had surgical operation twice. Now she is 16weeks gone, is it safe for her to drive especially using seat belt? I forgot to mention it was surgical operation for fibroids. I have asked her to stop driving because I am scared we might lose the baby. She finds it difficult to adhere because she loves driving. Please advise. Hi Ogaga, I would recommend chatting with your OB about whether there is a concern about driving after the surgery.

If you have any concerns about your own health or the health of your child, you should always consult with a doctor or other healthcare professional. It's a good idea to take your maternity medical records sometimes called handheld notes with you so you can give doctors the relevant information if necessary.
Make sure your travel insurance covers you for any eventuality, such as pregnancy-related medical care during labour, premature birth and the cost of changing the date of your return trip if you go into labour. Some women prefer not to travel in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy because of nausea and vomiting and feeling very tired during these early stages.
The risk of miscarriage is also higher in the first 3 months, whether you're travelling or not. Travelling in the final months of pregnancy can be tiring and uncomfortable. So, many women find the best time to travel or take a holiday is in mid-pregnancy, between 4 and 6 months.
Flying isn't harmful to you or your baby, but discuss any health issues or pregnancy complications with your midwife or doctor before you fly. The chance of going into labour is naturally higher after 37 weeks around 32 weeks if you're carrying twins , and some airlines won't let you fly towards the end of your pregnancy.
Check with the airline for their policy on this. After week 28 of pregnancy, the airline may ask for a letter from your doctor or midwife confirming your due date, and that you aren't at risk of complications. Long-distance travel longer than 4 hours carries a small risk of blood clots deep vein thrombosis DVT. If you fly, drink plenty of water and move about regularly — every 30 minutes or so. You can buy a pair of graduated compression or support stockings from the pharmacy, which will help reduce leg swelling.
Most vaccines that use live bacteria or viruses aren't recommended during pregnancy because of concerns that they could harm the baby in the womb.
However, some live vaccines may be considered during pregnancy if the risk of infection outweighs the risk of live vaccination. Can I take anti-malaria medication when I'm pregnant? Can I have travel vaccinations when I'm pregnant?
