looks like I'll be 30 weeks pregnant driving from Louisiana to Colorado which will take a whole day.. so far my…

yes you should!

They are going to advise you don't do that

Just take lots of breaks and get out and walk and stretch your legs. You will have to pee so much you will be stopping anyway.

okay I figured I should @aj33 & will it probably just be because of how far I am? @firefly

Yes, but if you feel fine and have had no complacations I say your okay.

I would. I traveled with my hubby this past weekend and even though I wasn't driving I have been have bad bad side stinches and in my hip. We didn't mention it to Dr (forgot to) and it was only a 2 or 2 1/2 hour drive. I hope it doesn't go that way for you!

oh no I hope not. we might just cancel the trip then cause I got a stress fracture in my hip while I was in the military and it hurts every now and then and being pregnant makes me it a little worse. @babyt16

I have a friend that had to drive a few hours down the road with her mom to get her sister out of a bad situation. She was pregnant with twins. The driving threw her into preterm labor and she lost both babies.. So I would definitely talk to dr and make sure they are okay with it. I don't mean to scare you I just know that driving can throw you into early labor.

no it's doesn't scare me just now I have officially canceled the trip cause I always think of the worst happening I'm sorry that happened to your friend. I didn't know driving could even do that @sealion

I didn't know either. My mom had told her and her mom about it and they went anyways and she was stuck at an out of state hospital. I think one died within minutes and the other baby died within a few days. So I get nervous for people who mention it. So I try to warn people of her story. Because the dr's did confirm that the driving is what they believe threw her into labor.

I wasn't trying to scare you. I just didn't have any problems and we did only stay two nights, and I didn't stop and get out to walk around every so often either. So those things may have effected it. But the second night I started hurting and I have been home for I guess a little over a week and I still hurt mostly. So I just want you to know I didn't stop and it is still killing me. If we had talked to the doctor maybe he could have helped some. That is all I am asking you to do. Best of luck Momma! Wishing you the best!

you didnt scare me I promise. lol. just made me think about it a little more. it's probably best to not go cause anything could happen even if it's not my hip and that's so far away. thank you though! @babyt16
