long drives

My wife is 6 weeks pregnant as of now, and we are going on a long drive this weekend.
The roads arent that bad, but being from india have the occasional bump here and there.
Any suggestions, if i should take special care of her, and which will be best place for her to sit..front or back seat.

Sorry if question seems trivial but any replies are really appreciated.

I went on a 400 mile drive at 24 weeks your wife should be fine, I would take regular stops to stretch out shouldn't be a problem.

At 6 weeks she'll be fine. She might be a little cranky from hormones and having to pee more, but physically she and the baby will fine. Pack plenty of water and light snacks like crackers and fruit incase she starts having morning sickness. But otherwise Have a wonderful trip!
