Q&A: Can I go into labor from a bumpy car ride?

Can I go into labor from a bumpy car ride?

Re: Can I go into labor from a bumpy car ride?

The Bump Expert Nope. No matter the size of the pothole or speed bump you hit, baby won't pop out just because a car ride is a little wilder than most. Your uterus and the ample protective fluid surrounding baby will keep him cozy and protected in there, so just make sure to buckle up and follow a few special safety rules designed for mommies-to-be.
