Now that you’ve formally entered the mama mode, life must go on and you might need to drive from one block to another to run errands while pregnant in your Dubai used car. CarSwitch.com has come up with a number of tips that can be of helpful to all the pregnant women.
- Correct your posture
Your car seat may be adjusted in such a way so that you can reach the pedals comfortably and the controllers on the dashboard. Sit in an upright, yet comfortable position where you don’t have any problem with with controlling the car or visibility. While steering, don’t bend too much to reach the controls or steering. Also, make sure to buckle up while driving. Stretch out the seat belt to a snug fit.
- Use a tummy shield
You may have positioned yourself in a comfortable position but the steering wheels add an uneasy weight to your bulge. Fortunately, there is something you can do to get more comfortable. Try a tummy shield. It restrains the seatbelt and also provides extra cushion when behind the wheel of your Dubai used car.
- Don’t succumb to distractions
Despite the many biological processes and hormonal shifts happening during pregnancy, you should pqy full attention to the road. Researchers have noted that that a pregnant women are more likely to be swayed with diversions. This is brought about by an increasing urge to protect their unborn child. That is understandable, but it is recommended that you give the road your full undivided attention.
- Take frequent breaks
If the journey is a bit longer than you would like, then stop the car and stretch out for a bit. You will get the blood going in your system and feel better in the time-out. But we do recommend not driving for long journeys as that can mean you have to stay in one position for too long, thereby restricting weight distribution on all muscles. So, stick to short driving on easy and straightforward routes.
- Use a lap-shoulder belt
A lap-shoulder belt is a shoulder harness, resembling a “sash” that is fastened diagonally over the car passenger’s shoulder and is buckled over the lap. Be sure to wear a full shoulder-lap belt and not a lap-belt alone.
- Get rid of the extra layers
Jackets and coats can interfere with the seat belt placement. Plus, it could be distracting if you get too warm.
