drive much?

[lunap22]

I am 11 weeks pregnant with my second.  I currently drive 86 miles one way to my job, a total of  172 miles a day. A first I thought I could handle it, but with morning sickness and fatigue I feel overwhelmed. My boss and OB said they don't think that it's an issue, but the truth is I am struggling. I don't know what else to say to prove that I need a break from time to time. My boss told me to "just handle it". How many miles driving a day is safe for a pregnant lady?

The bad thing about driving long distances while pregnant is blood clots and swelling in your legs. I took a 200 mile round trip the other day and it was the first time during this pregnancy that I had swelling...it was not very good. And I was 31 weeks at the time.

My OB didn't restrict driving/traveling for long distance until 30 weeks. The first trimester is exhausting hang tough you'll get energy back soon.
