I may need to go to my parents' place by train around 7th month. Journey is around 8 hours and I am feeling unsure about comfort and safety. Should I ask gynac before booking?
Traveling by train can be quite bumpy and tiring, even for non-pregnant people! While I'm all for natural approaches, for something like travel in late pregnancy, you really need a doctor's green light. Your gynac will check your overall health and tell you if it's safe and if any precautions are needed. Better safe than sorry, yaar.
Hmm, in my 7th month, my saas would not even let me go to the market, let alone train travel, haha! But on a serious note, it really depends on your health and doctor's advice. Some doctors give a fit-to-travel certificate if everything is fine, especially for shorter journeys. Ask your gynac first, always.
With a history like PCOS, I was extra cautious about everything. By the 7th month, the third trimester has begun, and movements can be challenging. Some doctors might advise against it, while others might give a go-ahead based on your health. Please, don't take a decision without consulting your gynac, especially if you have any pre-existing conditions.
I personally traveled by train in my 6th month for a short distance, and it was okay but I got quite tired. In the 7th month, you are much heavier and it's closer to your due date. I would strongly suggest discussing your specific travel plans with your gynecologist before making any bookings. Every pregnancy is different.
Train travel in 7th month? Brace for impact... on your bladder, mostly! You'll be visiting the loo every 10 minutes. Kidding aside, it's mostly about comfort and safety. If your doctor clears it, and you're comfortable with the bumps and movements, then why not? Just be ready with snacks and loo breaks!
