I am 37 weeks and 4 days driving everyday sometimes i feel a lot of pressure down tere when i get out of the car but itbis normal the not driving rule is because of accidents can happen but when you need to drive you need to do it and keep going around

When I was 7 months pregnant with my first, I was driving on Christmas night, home from a casino. Went to play on free house money. I took a different way home than on the way there and hit lumpy ice that bounced my car from one side of the road to the other. I spun out and went into a huge ditch pretty hard. That didn't do a thing to the baby and my water didn't break. You can drive! The hazard is having a bad accident but that's a potential hazard anytime anyone drives. Just be aware that your tummy pokes out further and drive cautiously.

I am not sure if you are aloud to drive or not, I will be 36 weeks this week and I am still driving, I really don't have a choice tho, I just try to be careful.

Only if you went really fast over a really really bumpy road. And even then that doesn't work. The only reason they don't want you driving that late is your stomach is so close to the steering wheel if you were to get in an accident it could be harmful. Also if yku are driving and suddenly your water breaks or yo u have a bad contraction it could cause you to loose focus and cause an accident.
