Does being pregnant turn you into a bad driver? Possibly. A new study suggests women have more car crashes when they are expecting than they do in the years before or afterward.

The study says all the side effects of pregnancy- fatigue, nausea, insomnia, anxiety and distraction- could distract a woman from the concentration required to be a good driver.
