I need to go to my parents' place by train and journey is around 7 hours. I am in 5th month and pregnancy has been okay till now, but family is divided. Did anyone travel by train around this time?
Haan bilkul kar sakti ho, 5th month is good na. Lower berth lena pakka, upar climb mat karna. Beech beech mein thoda chal lena legs ke liye. Maine bhi kiya tha is time, koi dikkat nahi hui.
Train is totally doable and cheaper than flight too. Book the lower berth in advance, and carry your home food so you dont depend on pantry stuff. Keep your reports and a copy of your gynac number in your bag just in case. Plan stops if it's a long journey.
5th month is actually the best time to travel, energy is good and bump is not too big. Train is fine, I did Delhi to Lucknow. Just book a lower berth, walk a little in the aisle now and then, and keep water and snacks with you.
Generally mid pregnancy travel is considered safe and train is comfortable enough. Get a lower berth so you dont have to climb. Quick word with your gynac before you book is always smart though, especially if your reports are all normal she'll just say go ahead.
For most women yes it's fine. But since I had some issues in my pregnancy I'd say just confirm with your doctor first, especially if you've had any spotting or BP problems. If she clears you, train is safe, just dont sit in one position too long.
