Pregnant women are also given special privileges on trains. However, due to a lack of information, many women are unable to take advantage of this facility. Today, we will inform you about the facilities provided by the Railways to pregnant women. Indian Railways reserves lower berths for pregnant women in various coaches.

They find it more comfortable to travel in lower berths. Sleeper coaches have approximately 6-7 lower berths, third AC coaches have approximately 4-5 lower berths, and second AC coaches have approximately 3-4 lower berths.

Pregnant women must fill out a form at the railway reservation center (PRS) counter and inform them of their pregnancy. Doing so increases their chances of securing a lower berth based on a special quota. Once all lower berths are occupied, women can request a lower berth from the train traveler by explaining their condition to the train traveler.
