We plan on stopping every two to three hours due to me being pregnant so that I can strech and go to the bathroom.

Sure, just make sure to take lots of breaks to use the ladies room and stretch your legs. I traveled by car at 7 months 16 hours in a day for 2 consecutive days. The only problems I had were the back aches and swollen ankles and feet.

Absolutely. Just make sure the car seat is the right angle (should show on the base) and make stops about every two hours, or whenever baby needs feeding or diaper change
