Default Pregnant Wife + 2015 Stingray = ???

Well, this will be my second Corvette.. My wife is now 3 Months pregnant.. She actually asked me to post this question.. First off, she LOVES the car but she wants to know if anyone else here is pregnant and how comfortably they fit into the car!! lol.. Silly question I know.. My C7 left the factory and should be here within a week or so!

Thanks in advance!!

a friend of mine is about 6 months pregnant and she rides in my C7 quite a bit. She gets in and out no problem but I don't know how well that will go later.

My wife was pregnant when I got the c7. She stopped riding in it around 7months. Said it was to difficult to get in and out of.

Better get weather proof seat cover and floor mat for the passenger side in case her water breaks.

You have only one option..........get a new wife.

Seriously, unless this is your only vehicle this should be a non-issue. If it gets uncomfortable for her at some point, you can limit her exposure to riding in it. Besides, later it will not be a 3 person vehicle. Many people have had to pass on a two seater until the kids were grown, but as long as you have another vehicle to use, a nice weekend cruiser is a great stress reducer.

Thanks for all the replies :-) I'll have to look into the water proof seat covers. LOL

We have a few other cars... I have a 2005 H2 Hummer for the snow and my daily driver is a 2011 Jag XJL.... So the C7 will be mainly a pleasure vehicle..

oh and correction.. she just hit 4 months.. I got in trouble for saying 3.. lol

I nominate this thread for the most ridiculous of the day.

really? how will a pregnant woman fit in a C7? All you had to do was look for any one of the many threads asking "i'm 6 2 250 will I fit" and yes I hope that she's nowhere near that size.

Awesome! She'll appreciate you walking around and helping her out of the car as time goes on.

Yeah, 7-8 mo and I’ll bet she won’t enjoy getting in and out. Don

The thought of “When is the baby due?” occurs to me when I see guys who haven’t seen anything below their belly in years. Don

It will be at least a couple years before that can happen; plenty of time to figure it out before then!
