Any tips for being comfotable on long car rides?

I will be travelling for a seven-eight hour car ride in the next few weeks, and will be about 29 weeks at that point. For some reason, I find being in the car really uncomfortable on my back, which is odd because it otherwise does not ache at all!

The car is roomy, and the seat has all those high-tech conveniences like lumbar support, etc.

And I know it is a must to stop frequently to stretch my legs (and, let's face it, pee!).



So, any tips??

besides bringing a pilliow for your neck and back or to sit on and water to contanstly sip I think you are set.
Just make sure you dont drive sit in the passenger seat and stretch that seat so far back that you can almost put your legs straight.

My doctor had said that every 1 - 1.5 hours you have to walk to keep the circulation going. A small pillow for your lower back may help with back pain. Good Luck!

We drove down to MD when I was 26 weeks pregnant and I did the driving since DH doesn't drive at all for medical reasons! The best advice is to stop and stretch/walk whenever you feel the need to. GIve yourself plenty of extra time for that. Also, sometimes you need more then a quick stretch. You actually to take a little walk around!

Enjoy your drive!
