Hi Girls

At what point is it impossible to drive or can you drive right up until your due date?
I find it slightly uncomfortable now but dont wanna be confined to house once i go on maternity leave.

Whats everyones views on this? xxxxx

I am still driving hun and sure that while we feel able we can continue. My friend drove to her mums in labour ! lol (not recommended I dont think).

I feel uncomfortable drivin now as I can feel babies feet in ribs but as you, I still wanna get out and stuff n I do. xx

I'm a couple of days of my due date (fingers crossed!!!) and I'm still driving...I think everyone is different, do it until you feel it's no longer comfortable. You can actually buy an adapted seat belt to fit under your bump if it makes it any easier.

i was wonderin the same, but my OH dont drive, so i'm plannin on drivin as long as i can! doesnt help tho that i'm only 5'2 with 28" inside leg, so i'm right up against the wheel lol!

I know that only a few years ago it was considered a no no after a certain amount of time. My mum has suggested I dont drive now. My nana nearly fell on the floor when she found out I had driven to Windsor (like 40 mins away!). I wouldnt do it if I didnt think I could durr. Obviously if I was really tired etc I wouldnt. I do have a brain. It so nice to drive though I hate walking too far!

Im still driving. Just restricting driving more than half an hour away on me own just in case i go into labour. But if someone is in the car with me, im not fused XxX

I'm hoping to keep driving till as late as possible, like Ema said though will probably keep distance I travel as I get further along to a minimum just in case

I drove last time right up to having my son. When i went overdue i only went out with someone with me though.

I'm hoping to keep driving as long as I can. I have 8 weeks to go and about an inch and a bit between me and the steering wheel so I'll have to see how it goes.

I haven't been driving for a couple of months because of my Fibromyalgia and preg. Very uncomfortable and kills my hips and legs.

I sat in the car the other week as I was gonna try driving somewhere and realised I can't actually turn the steering wheel anymore as my bump literally sits on it. Never mind, few more weeks and it'll be alright lol. Can't move the seat any further back cuz im too short and tried leaning it back further but can't lean it back far enough to get the bump off the wheel. *sigh* "I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller...." and all that.
