Also if you’re a short person and you can’t reach pedals sitting back with a large belly.

Never in either of my pregnancies. Drove and carried my sick 40lb 2.5 yo to the pediatrician last week and delivered a baby 12 hours later. Grateful to have healthy pregnancies.

I'm 38 weeks and try to drive minimally. Not because I don't want to but because my belly is so big that I have to lean my seat back and then can't see over the wheel. Loll

27 weeks and still driving

I sort of did, but it was because of Covid and I didn’t have anywhere to go 🤷‍♀️

Large baby pressing on my heart and making me randomly pass out a few times a week.

Thanks both! Yep, pregnancy can get very metal sometimes, haha
