The list of things pregnant women can and cannot do is ever changing but one thing remains the same you can drive right up to your due date, as long as you are feeling up to it. Driving is so handy especially as the months go on when your back hurts, your feet start to swell and overall the tiredness settles in.
There are a few things to consider before setting off on your car journey, it’s important to think of your back and headrest position as well as having your car thoroughly checked or serviced. The last thing any pregnant driver needs is a breakdown or any car problems. Having your car’s major service carried out would be ideal, this would include checks on all major parts and replacements of filters spark plugs and more. Avoid any car trouble where possible by checking your tyres and brakes to ensure they are in full working order.
