Theres a family function out of town next week and ill be around 6 weeks then. its a 5-6 hr car journey. im a little nervous since its so early. anyone travelled at this stage?
I'd be a little careful here. First trimester is delicate and if you have any spotting, cramping or history of issues, please ask your doctor before traveling. I had to avoid long journeys early because of my situation, so it really depends on your case.
Usually travel at 6 weeks is okay if your pregnancy is normal and you're feeling fine. Just take breaks, stay hydrated and don't strain. I traveled both times early on without issues, but a quick word with your gynac first is smart.
After my IVF I was extra cautious in the early weeks and my doctor asked me to avoid unnecessary travel for a while. Every pregnancy journey is different, so please don't go by others, just ask your own doctor what's right for you. Take care of yourself.
I traveled for work at 6 weeks, it was manageable. Just avoid very bumpy roads, take frequent stretch breaks and carry water and snacks. If you feel nausea or tired, rest. But do clear it with your gynac first, especially for long trips.
