Bumpy car rides generally do not cause fetal concussions, but prolonged bumpy car rides are not recommended for pregnant women during pregnancy.
The fetus is protected by the mother’s abdomen, the uterine muscle layer and the amniotic fluid in the amniotic sac, which is usually most abundant in the middle of pregnancy. When riding a bumpy ride, this triple protection can play a certain buffering effect on the bumps, so generally will not lead to fetal concussion.
However, it is not recommended that pregnant women ride bumpy rides for a long time during pregnancy, especially in early and late pregnancy. Because in early pregnancy, the fertilized egg has not yet been attached to the bed or the bed is not solid, long-term car bumps may cause preterm miscarriage or miscarriage.
In late pregnancy, due to the decrease in amniotic fluid volume, the buffering capacity is also reduced, long-term bumpy ride may cause pregnant women to give birth prematurely.
