Can I take a long-distance bus when I am seven months pregnant?

Pregnant women have many taboos during pregnancy. Not only do they have many requirements on food, but they also have strict requirements on exercise and transportation. The purpose of doing so is to avoid accidents, especially traveling in public places with a lot of people and cars, which is very dangerous. So can a seven-month pregnant woman take a long-distance bus? Even if she avoids the crowd and gets on the bus carefully, can the body withstand the journey?

Can a seven-month pregnant woman take a long-distance bus?

1. Can you take a train when you are seven months pregnant? At present, the Ministry of Railways of China has not yet imposed any special restrictions on pregnant women taking trains, but it is still recommended that you consult a doctor before traveling by train to determine whether your pregnancy condition is suitable and other related questions. Virtually all forms of travel during pregnancy require you to do that.

2. It is better to take a long-distance bus during the seventh month of pregnancy. Generally speaking, it is best not to take the train in the first three months and the last three months, especially if you are sitting alone on a crowded train. If you do not feel any discomfort in your body, you can choose to take the bullet train or sleeper car! It's no different from usual.

3. There is a toilet in every carriage on the train, although some are not very clean, the space is not large, and there are not enough toiletries provided. What you need to pay attention to is to hold on firmly to prevent falling. In addition, there are catering vehicles and mobile vending vehicles on the train, but the food is expensive and the quality and types are limited.

4. Pregnant women can take the train at seven months. For pregnant women, the general hard bedroom space of the train may be a little small, but it is generally more comfortable than cars, buses and airports. In addition, if you buy a soft sleeper car, you will feel more comfortable.

Common questions about whether pregnant women can take long-distance buses during the seventh month of pregnancy

1. Choose a seat close to the corridor to make it convenient for pregnant women to stand up and move around.

5. If an obstetric emergency occurs during the journey, such as abdominal pain of unknown cause, vaginal bleeding, uterine contraction, excessive discharge of watery fluid from the vagina (amniotic rupture), vaginal discharge of tissue or blood clots, you should report it to the conductor immediately and ask for help.

6. Drink enough water. Pregnant women may experience dehydration or nausea during the journey, so they must drink enough water.

7. Expectant mothers should prepare boots that are easy to put on and take off in advance to prevent swelling of the legs and feet. Before going out, be sure to wear a pair of light and comfortable shoes.

After reading the experts' advice, pregnant women need to check themselves. Pregnant women in seven months can take a long-distance bus, but there are so many requirements for the body. These requirements must be met before taking a long-distance bus. Otherwise, if the physical condition is poor or the road is too bumpy, the pregnant woman's body will be seriously affected, especially the safety of the baby in the belly will become a problem, so you still have to think twice before doing it.
