Best Ways To Tackle Daily Travel During Pregnancy
Daily travel during pregnancy can be an ordeal. You do not know in what ways being pregnant can change your life. Even the simple things in life like walking down the road and hopping into a cab can be a very difficult task. Travelling during pregnancy is all about risk management. And if you are a pregnant working woman, then it is doubly important for you to make daily travel during pregnancy secure.
IS DRIVING DURING PREGNANCY A SAFE OPTION
Travelling to work during pregnancy is a regular affair. Usually, you rush in the mornings and just call a cab while you are still munching on your breakfast. You can do none of that when you are pregnant. You have to plan everything beforehand and move very slowly. Using public transport for travelling during pregnancy can be very dicey. You have to take your chances with the temperament of the cab drivers.
Driving during pregnancy is also not always a safe option. You must not allow your hormones get to you as there will be a lot of honking and busy roads. The key to managing your daily travel during pregnancy is to always keep yourself on the safe side. It is better to get delayed than putting yourself and your baby at risk.
Here is a guide to manage your daily travelling during pregnancy. Learn all the dos and don'ts of travelling to work during pregnancy here.
Say You Are Pregnant
Sometimes, the 'obvious' is also not visible to people. So every time you sit in a cab, say out loud that you are pregnant and the cab driver has to drive safely.
Carry Water
Always carry water with you when you are pregnant. You might feel nauseas anytime and you need to keep a bottle of water handy.
Wear Flats
You feet will swell and you will be a little disoriented during pregnancy, so always wear flat footwear while travelling.
Avoid Bumpy Roads
Tell the cab driver to take a de-tour if the road to your destination is too bumpy. If he doesn't agree, insist on it.
Don't Be Unmindful
Don't listen to music while walking or crossing the road while you are pregnant. You need all your wits when you are travelling during pregnancy.
Carry Chocolates
You are prone to low blood pressure period when you are pregnant. To avoid a blackout, you have to swallow a chocolate. So keep a stock with you.
Watch Your Step
Always watch your step when you are walking down the road. Your pregnant belly often blocks your view and you tend to miss small depressions on the roads.
Don't Honk
Never honk when your are driving during pregnancy. And consciously avoid loud noises by pulling your windows up. The baby gets disturbed by loud traffic noises.
Keep Imp Numbers On Speed Dial
Keep all emergency numbers like your husband's cell phone number, your doctor's number and your hospital ambulance numbers on the speed dial list to deal with emergencies.
