Pregnancy and driving: behind the wheel of the two

Women at the wheel has long been no surprise, but the irritation of men will be eroding from the auto world for many years. Apparently, up until the amount received equal rights with the girls will not exceed the number of motorists "old school". No one argues that the weaker sex drives as well as strong, so the roads are constantly heard: "Baba, what with her to take!" And what is driving pregnant? This hormonal monsters or unhappy sufferer? No contraindications for pregnant women there - they can travel freely to the wheel until the ninth month (of course, subject to the well-being). Some doctors are even inclined to that riding in the car is less dangerous than a crowded bus or subway. But also to recommend management of the machine in such a delicate period is also impossible, because the woman at this time is subject to sudden weakness and deterioration of health, but it is not always possible to predict on the road. If the expectant mother herself moves with difficulty, she in no case can get behind the wheel - it is better to entrust the management to someone else. Sitting in the car, a pregnant woman have to buckle up - seat belt should not be placed on the abdomen to avoid injury to the child. If the machine is equipped with airbags, it does not hurt either the expectant mother or baby. Every two hours to do a stop for light exercises to restore circulation and eliminate back pain. For up to 5 months of being a woman may be unstable - may appear weakness, nausea, fainting or even possible. If these symptoms are present, then it should not get behind the wheel. Period of 5 to 9 months may be associated with low pressure (hypotension, from 80/50 to 100/50) or dizziness, weakness, fainting (anemia). It may also be increased blood pressure (from 130/80 to 150/100). All these signs are a contraindication to driving. Recall of hormones - in anticipation of the child in the female body is something like a war of hormones. Naturally, it affects her behavior, reactions to certain things. What used to her not worried about during pregnancy can in no ruffle. Inappropriate behavior while driving is dangerous for both the motorists in the "interesting" position, and for all who come near her. And suddenly her itch to stop in the middle of the road and quickly run to the store, as she suddenly realized that he wanted to "just this roll here with this shelf, and in any other store so rolls will not be. And even more so you can amass the problems with traffic police, which broke an angry tirade at their request to produce documents. And conversely, some are trying to exercise greater care to ensure the safety of yourself and your baby, but in this good effort can overdo it and create an emergency situation. During pregnancy a woman should be as little as possible are exposed to stress. On the road, she will face traffic jams, Hammami, undercutting - the stomach's not clear (although some, and it does not stop). Especially since not all cars are equipped with various support systems and automatic transmission. But the expectant mother should be visited in a heap of places to pass many tests, obbegat many instances - not just to avoid stress. The most important thing - to rely on their own experience. If a woman feels that after the journey in a uterus is toned, it is better to give up driving. And if the process of driving a car brings positive emotions and does not affect the physical state, then we can continue to travel. But we must be very careful - it is proved that the speed of response during pregnancy is greatly reduced, so often expectant mothers or change driving style, or abandon the role of the driver. And if nervishki yet passed, then after a stressful situation it is necessary to park in a safe place and rest a few minutes.
