Should I drive my pregnant cat home if she's due soon and stressed?

Question

Hey my cat is pregnant and we’re out of town(she is with us) but we had to stay later than we expected, is it safe to bring her back (3 1/2 hour drive) while she’s very close to her due date or wait till the kittens are out and wait a couple days. She’s not horrible In cars but definitely gets stressed/ cautious in the car. Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | unspayed | 7 lbs

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If it is possible to avoid the car journey, it will be definitely the safest option. Prolonged stress like this can trigger premature labor and dystocia in cats. Ideally, Bella should be allowed to have kittens where she is.
