How long can a pregnant woman drive?

Many people choose to drive when they are pregnant, because they cannot stay at home all the time during pregnancy, which will make the expectant mother feel suffocated. No one can bear to hold it in for ten months. Therefore, after getting pregnant, you must go out for a walk to release your emotions. But sometimes there is no one to accompany me and I drive alone. How many months of pregnancy can I drive?

From a medical point of view, it is not suitable to drive after 3 months of pregnancy. When driving, because pregnant women are always sitting, the blood circulation of the pelvis and uterus are not good, and driving can easily cause anxiety and tension, which is not good for the health of the fetus and can easily lead to miscarriage, especially for beginners. Driving will cause high mental anxiety, which is not good for abdominal fetuses. Therefore, it is best for beginners not to drive during pregnancy; and women who are pregnant for more than 6 months should not drive, because once the brakes are applied suddenly, the steering wheel can easily hit the abdomen, causing amniotic fluid rupture. In addition, during pregnancy, the mother's reaction will become slower and slower, and driving may increase the chance of accidents. So, what are the common problems that pregnant women encounter when driving?

1. Driving too aggressively

Pregnant women should avoid driving at an excessively strong pace and with excessive force, such as emergency stops and emergency turns. The huge impact force can easily cause harm to themselves and the fetus. Therefore, maintaining a safe speed is very necessary for pregnant women.

2. Drive a new car

Pregnant women should be careful when driving new cars. The residual chemical smell in new cars is strong, which is extremely harmful to the health of pregnant women and fetuses. It is recommended that before driving a new car, the windows and doors should be opened for ventilation to release some chemical odors. In addition, some charcoal, pineapple, wool pads and other items that can absorb odors can be placed in the car to ensure the freshness and health of the air in the car.

3. The indoor temperature is too low

The best air conditioning temperature in the car is 26℃. Pregnant women should not adjust the temperature below 26℃ when driving. When the temperature is not very hot, it is recommended to turn off the air conditioning and open the windows to let in air.

4. Driving in high heels

Ladies should avoid wearing high heels, sandals and other inappropriate boots when driving, especially pregnant women. It is best to wear more convenient shoes such as casual shoes and canvas shoes when driving. Women's bodies are swollen during pregnancy. If they drive in high heels or sandals, it will not only be uncomfortable, but also easy to cause dangerous situations such as not being able to brake or clutch completely in an emergency.

5. Driving with unkempt hair and dirty face

Many women are accustomed to letting their hair down when driving, which may seem like a trivial thing but actually contains great safety risks. When the car windows are open, long hair should be combed up, as the wind outside the car can easily blow the hair away and block the vision, causing danger.

6. Hard lumps, artifacts, perfume bottles and other objects on the dashboard of the car

Many people like to place perfume bottles, tissue boxes, keys and other items on the dashboard in front of the car. In the event of an emergency brake, these items can easily cause damage to the person sitting in the front seat. For example, being scratched by a broken perfume bottle or being hit by a hard object is also dangerous for pregnant women, so try to avoid placing objects on the dashboard in the car.
