Are long car rides ok?

I'm talking about 4-5 hours each way (both ways in one day) so a total of 8-10 hours in the car in one day. I already had to do this once at 10 weeks, wondering if it is still ok as I am further along like 16-25 weeks? Thanks ladies!

Sure. I think you will be fine. Just stop if you can and stretch your legs and everything.

Should be fine.

We're driving to Georgia when I'm 28 weeks. It's a 15-hour car ride each way Chat Icon . I am totally dreading the trip. We leave on a Friday, and drive back on Tuesday, it's going to be sooooo much time in the car! Chat Icon I asked my Dr. about it, he said it's fine, but I'll need to stop every hour or two to stretch (and I'll have to pee anyway!).

should be fine...make sure you stay hydrated and trye to get out and stretch your legs maybe every 1 or 2 hrs.

I know on a plane, they recommend every 30 min (I think) for getting up and walking around
