Driving

Im not going to stop driving unless I feel I physically can't. There are no laws against it and I have another child I have to get to school etc. x

I find it quite uncomfortable so my husband does the longer journeys (work commute) and I typically only drive locally around town. But there is nothing to say you need to stop as far as I'm aware.

I drove to hospital with my first 😅 I was 40+4 My husband had gone to work and I rang the midwife so she asked me to pop in for a check up as I’d had the sweep the day before not thinking I was actually in labour but I felt poorly. To find I was in fact in labour and had sepsis 🫣 only drive if you feel comfortable though. Luckily it is only 5 minutes up the road.

I'm 33+5 and still driving almost every day

I go by if I can touch the dash behind the steering wheel, my feet press the pedals properly and my bump isn't touching the steering wheel then I will carry on. This was my tick list for my first pregnancy too, I drove all the way to 41+1 x

I was driving while in labor lolll and my son’s doctor was at a hospital 45minutes away.😂 I just think it’s whatever you think you can handle.

But can yoy drive back home after the birth of your child? In the event that you drive to the hospital yourself

@Tomilola I praise your bravery if you do, but I think it would be unlikely to drive yourself and baby back after birth

@Tomilola I couldn’t because I ended in emergency c section. I will also add I didn’t realise I would have her that day I thought I was just going in for a check up, luckily we had put the hospital bag in the car. My husband got dropped off so he could drive the car back home 😅

I don’t think I will stop driving. My bump isn’t in the way and it’s not uncomfortable to drive so 🤷🏻‍♀️
