On a two hour car ride, would you stop and walk around?
We are going to NJ today and it will be about a two hour ride. I am 13 weeks. Would you stop half way and take a walking break? I don't know if it's too early for me to worry about this, or if I should stop for a bit.
DH thinks its ridiculous, but I feel as if he has yet to believe I'm really pregnant now.

Yes. I was around that pregnant when we flew to Aruba and the dr told me to get up once an hour. Also, don't cross your legs in the car.

I say just play it by ear .. if you feel like stopping do it! I mean 2 hours you could probably make but it's always better to move, and DEF pee if you need to!

Re: On a two hour car ride, would you stop and walk around?
We just drove to Atlantic City and back in the same day without stopping ... I just made sure to stretch and wiggle my legs every 45 minutes or so. DH wouldn't have minded stopping, but I didn't see a need.
On a flight I would DEFINITELY get up and walk around once an hour, but that's a different ball game IMO.

Re: On a two hour car ride, would you stop and walk around?
nah, I don't think it's necessary unless you're feeling like you NEED to. When I was 13 weeks we were on vacation and did a LOT of driving and I felt fine without stopping for breaks. When I was around 25 weeks I went on a 4 hr plane ride and also did fine without getting up to walk around. So I don't think you need to force it unless you feel like you want or need to.

i wouldnt stop unless you feel cramped. i flew to florida at like 10w and the doctor told me to get up and walk around at least once, but i think that with the air pressure of a plane its worse than the same amount of time in a car.
