Generally yes, but talk to your ob first and plan stops every 1.5 - 2 hours to stretch and for circulation.

Oh god why would you want to??? You'll have to stop at least once an hour to walk around a bit...and don't forget you'll have to stay hydrated which means you'll be having to stop and pee every half hour...DO NOT "just hold it" because at that stage you are at a greater risk of UTI's and if bad enough they can cause preterm labor...so make sure to stop that car and pee when you gotta (which may make for a very very very long road trip) And the bouncing in the car may actually be harmful if for extended periods of time (like 10 hours)
Do yourself a favor...FLY. I flew to denver my 7th month and it was great. There's no way you could have gotten me into a car for 10 hours when I was that big...HELL NO...

Really make sure you stop alot - even if you feel okay. During my 7th month I took a 6 hour trip and only stopped once and my feet swelled up like balloons. They never fully recovered until after the baby was born. Trust me - you want to stop and walk around ALOT!

I would say so- I stopped traveling by car when I was 8 and 9 mos pregnant... But really it depends on how comfortable you are sitting still for that long. I would recommend stopping every few hours and walking around for about 5-10 min.
...Oh and plan on leaving extra time for bathroom breaks!!

I think you can but you are going to be really uncomfortable. You should stop every 2 hours and get out and walk a little bit because your legs and feet will swell up because you belly sitting on your legs cuts off your circulation a little.

I did. Just make frequent stops to stretch your legs. I drove from Texas to Virginia around 25 hours when I was around 6 months.

I don't see why not. Just make sure that you make a pit stop whenever you have to pee... holding it in for too long can cause you problems. Also, it might be a good idea to pack some snacks that are healthy and that you like. Road food can be expensive and not very healthy for you.
Have fun!

Please ask your doctor this question. They are the only one that is familiar with your pregnancy and will be the best to answer.
If you have a healthy, normal pregnancy they may tell you OK but to make sure you stay hydrated and to stop often.
