save these women
You should avoid traveling on the bumpy road if you have placenta previa, a weak cervix, or cervical cerclage or are at risk of preterm delivery. You should also keep information about whether you should travel in the bus during pregnancy. Some vehicles such as buses or three wheelers are not as safe as cars and are more prone to shocks. At the same time, scooty should not be driven on bumpy road in pregnancy.
Care has to be taken with these too
You should avoid traveling on Bumpy Road even if the doctor has advised you bed rest or if you have a spinal problem or have advised to induce labor due to any medical reason.
