    Women have done harder work than driving and flat bedding while pregnant for hundreds of years and didn't have any problems. Women are NOT delicate little glass flowers that shatter under the slightest stress. I'd say as long as you're healthy and your doctor doesn't have any concerns then drive until you feel the need to be at home to give birth. This website isn't the proper place to address this type of situation which should be between you, the child's father and your doctor.

    and the op never said anyone here is a doctor.My guess is the op will be a new mother all the op is doing is looking for advice and suggestions and will be asking her doctor the important questions when she sees her doctor in January.Keep in mind women use to work out in the field their 9th month.Op is only 2 months along and she seems to be taking care of herself and won't over do it.

    I didn't intend to sound hard but no one here has any business giving you advice about this type of situation. No harm no foul. Good luck!

    I’ve read about a lot of things on our site, but this is certainly a first. Women flatbedders are a rare bird as it is.

    Ma’am, please try to understand. You’re asking a question that not a single one of us is qualified to give a credible answer to.

    You must not be very far along if you don’t know the gender yet. That said, for the sake of your baby please take this up with your doctor. You’re living for two now in a body that should not be overworked.

    Best of luck to you both.
