Yes, I drive during my first trimester. Make sure you wear safety belt all the times and drive slower. Now I am in my 3rd trimester, I find quite stressful to drive as the tummy is getting bigger and thus I reduce my driving and take cabs instead. However, if you have any pregnancy complications, e.g. bleeding or threaten miscarriage, it is best not to drive as stress during driving will cause further complications. Do check with your gynae whether it is safe to drive during 1st trimester.
