Traveling by bus is not so recommended for pregnant woman. There are some reasons that support this statement:
- Minimum space between one seat to another one may cause difficulties on moving her body such as moving feet on a relax position. Stuck on one position may cause cramps.
- The absence of toilet (usually on short distance bus) may cause her feels uncomfortable of withholding the urination.
- The bad system on bus operation in Indonesia. You know that there's often inequality between the number of seats and the number of passenger, so that no wonder the bus is often overload. It may cause her feels uncomfortable because of that crowd.
It's all based on my personal experience after having a very tired trip from Madiun to Surabaya by bus. I feel like I'm trauma to have any kind of trip during my pregnancy. It seems better if I have trip by train or private car. What about you??
