Can I go into labor from a bumpy car ride?

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

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.

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

i went on a 2 hour car ride and my water broke when we got to the gas station. i had her 9 in half hours after my water broke. before we left springfield i was checked. i was 35 weeks and 6 days go my strep b test done and they said i was nowhere near being ready to go into labor. well they were wrong, we were in the car for 2 hours straight i got out water broke got to hospital found out i was 3 cm dilated and they wouldnt let me go home. does that count or could my early labor have been caused by something else

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

That's an nteresting question. To be honest I never thought about it and I'm happy to read the answer. I find it funny that I got to read this when I was looking for car donations centres on the internet. It's worth checking the safety rules though. (It's weird I didn't do that when I was pregnant).

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

No, as far as I know you can't. It's good to avoid these situations though; high speed is not ok, anyway! I always tell my husband not to drive too fast. I want one of those class B motorhomes so I can feel comfortable while travelling. I don't know if my husband will agree to get one but I need to convince him! It would be awesome!

I totally agree that you should take care. Avoid driving too fast! I had an accident while I was pregnant, luckily it wasn't a very bad one but still, I was very scared! And it wasn't even my fault. I had to look for New Orleans auto accident lawyers and stuff like that; very unpleasant. I have become a slow driver since the accident.

I am a race pilot and I was 20 months pregnant when I participated to the Hampton Downs rally. I didn't have any problem with my baby but I took all the necessary safety rules.

I do have a few friends who work for partsgeek and some of them are married as well. I will ask them about this and then offer you some feedback. Good luck until then and may God bless you and your children.

I had a bumpy ride yesterday when I went with my husband to see a Raptor Toy Hauler that was for sale. I felt pretty weird while driving the car on that country road but never had the thought that I can go into labor from a bumpy ride.

I was looking for some limo hire London services when I found this interesting forum and I decided to answer to your question. You can take a bumpy ride while you are pregnant as soon as your car has all the necessary safety parts.

I am 28 weeks pregnant and I've recently bought a sports car from a Salt Lake City used cars dealer.Yesterday I've taken a bumpy car ride and I didn't have any problems.I feel great and I am thinking to repeat that experience.

You can take a bumpy car ride as soon as you take all the possible safety measures.Also you should be very careful on the road as you can easily meet a policeman and get a speeding ticket.I am 31 weeks pregnant and last week I've decided to take a bumpy car ride together with my best friend.I had bad luck as the police stopped me and gave me a New York speeding ticket.

Maybe you need to change Leveling Kits to your car so you can have a smooth journey with that car.I know that it is difficult to change different parts at your car but that is why there are auto shops which can do that for you.
