Did anyone else struggle to drive in late pregnancy?

I’m about to pop and I am also short, with short legs. I can’t fit very comfortably behind the wheel, my bump is pressed up against the steering wheel and the seatbelt is driving me mad as it strangles me!

This is a fairly new car and I don’t know whether it’s the car that’s the problem or my pregnancy!

Me. Same issues. Short so needed to pull the seat forward as much as it will go but huge bump that didn’t fit in the remaining gap. All fine once the baby was born.

Ah that’s good to know @karmakameleon , dreading even short journeys at the moment!

Are you able to raise the height of your seat? I found that to be more comfortable. I drove until I gave birth in a Mini Cooper which are quite small spaced cars inside, but raising the height of the seat helped keep my tummy away from the steering wheel..

I’m only 4ft 11 and had a classic mini when pregnant with DS. It was certainly interesting trying to drive. On the plus side, driving over speed bumps every day in it seemed to dislodge DS as he was born a couple of weeks early.

Interestingly mines a Mini Cooper as well. I have to admit I regret getting it but hoping it will be easier once I’ve had the baby.
