Wondering how you handled the driving during your pregnancy? I drove a couple of hours a few times a week and it's starting to get uncomfortable/exhausting. What was your experience? How long did you keep up with heavy driving for work in your pregnancy?

i'm in pharma sales and was working full time when i was pg with the twins (i'm job share now).

I stopped working at 27w. It was getting really uncomfortable to work by then - and my OB wanted me out to avoid PTL (it worked- i went to 38w without any problems!).

My ob gave me a note to get disabled parking which i started using around 17w - so i woudln't have to walk too far in and out of buildings all day... esp in the winter in snow/ice - he was very worried about me slipping and falling.  That was really helpful- b/c i''m parking all day long -and some of the lots at buildings I go to are HUGE and up hills, etc.

i didn't have more than 45 minutes straight driving - so not sure if you are saying you drive 2 hours straight, etc... most of my driving is short- but it's in and out all day long.

Love your photo. Mine is more like 1-to 2 hours each way but can be more with traffic. Usually only 1-3 meetings in a day. I also have night time events/cocktail parties etc about once a week that are just too much. The parking thing is a good idea -- especially with winter coming. Lots of city driving and parking garages etc.

Great question and good advice.  I'm definitely going to get the parking pass.  I'm clumsy w/o being pregnant...terrified of falling.
