As long as you don't have any medical complications or on medicine that recommend you don't drive or operate machinery you should be fine. Oh, and as long as your belly doesn't get in the way and you can still steer properly :)

Even in the famous case where the woman gave birth when driving, it was because she waited until the last minute (having been in labor a long time) to get into the car and drive herself to the hospital.

If you are driving and go into labor, you will have plenty of time to drive home or to the hospital.  It's not like you go into labor and the baby comes in the next five minutes.

Yes I drove up until I went into labor.... just don't drive if you are cramping cause it could be contractions.
