If you travel far during pregnancy, pregnant women who are already prone to motion sickness will inevitably suffer from motion sickness. Generally, motion sickness will not harm the fetus, but if the nausea and vomiting are very severe, or even vomiting during the entire journey, it will be harmful to both the pregnant woman and the fetus. Severe vomiting not only makes the pregnant woman very uncomfortable, but also easily leads to dehydration and electrolyte disorders, and is not conducive to the fetus's absorption of nutrients. Excessive fatigue of the pregnant mother will aggravate the fetus.

Therefore, pregnant women who suffer from severe motion sickness should avoid long car rides during pregnancy.
