How far did you travel to work while pregnant?

I drive two hours a day (one hour each way) to get to work and i am finding it hard while pregnant, i am keen to find out how long other pregnant women travel to get to work??

thanks

I know how you feel!

I live in Central London and travel to Essex each day. I start work at mid-day and finish at 11pm.. (Not very nice people around on public transport at this time!)

I have to take a bus to the train station (about 20 mins) and then two tube trains to essex and then a 10 minute walk (seems like all up hill!). All together the journey takes about 1 1/2 hours each way. So on top of 11 hours at work I travel for about 3 hours too!

I'm 24 weeks pregnant now and I'm leaving work in 4 weeks. I refuse to work any longer than this because the long work hours plus late/long journey is killing me! It's also quite dangerous where I work, people stabbed and shot there all the time. I'm more aware of the danger now that I'm pregnant!

Luckily, I have 3 weeks paid holiday to use up before I start my maternity leave in March. Then I get 52 weeks off... Can't wait!

Good luck with your pregnancy! xx

I stopped working when I found out I was pregnant with my 3 year old daughter. I started working part time when she turned 2, and I don't work now because I'm pregnant with twins.

For me I have to drive about 15-20 minutes to work which is at a medical office as a secretary. I never worked when I was pregnant, at least not until I knew I was. I guess it's just me but I think when you have very small children you should take the time off!

I traveled to and from NYC from Virginia (which is 8 hour drive) my whole pregnancy up until 35 weeks. They usually say after 34 weeks its best to stay close to home and if youre going to travel far drink plenty of water and make plenty of stops to stretch your legs. So you can travel as much as you want as long as youre comfortable with it.

I am the same an hour there and back sometimes a little longer. And I work off hours 12-9pm so I avoid traffice and it STILL takes that long. It is tiring! The worst is sometimes my lower back starts to ache for the drive.. that sucks!

I drive about 1 hour and 15 minutes each way. I find it boring latley but it is a must. I keep adding new music to my ipod or I am thinking about maybe the books on cd. Something to make the commute less boring.

I'm fortunate to only work about 20 minutes away, you can try using a doughnut pillow under your toosh while driving, that might help with easing the discomfort.

I traveled 30 minutes each way, but I worked as a compliance specialist for 9 properties. So I had to go to several different places once my workday started. I was always tired.

I travel about 25 minutes each way.

About 5 minutes to work one-way. I went to school 45 minutes away though.

This is a tough one...

My commute is half hour to 45 minutes
