Is it safe to travel to hill station during pregnancy?
Im 5 months along and we had planned a small trip to Shimla before i found out i was pregnant. Now im a little nervous about the cold and the height. Has anyone travelled to hilly areas while pregnant, how was it for u?
Get your doctor's clearance before booking, mainly about the altitude. Carry your reports and know the nearest hospital there. If she okays it, enjoy but rest plenty.
Because I had issues, my doctor told me to avoid high altitude travel. So it really depends on your case. Please ask your gynac first, especially about altitude and the long road journey.
Second trimester is usually the comfortable time to travel if your pregnancy is normal. Avoid very high altitudes and super bumpy roads though. I did a short hill trip in month 5 and was fine, just took it slow.
Actually the winding hill roads were the issue for me yaar, made me nauseous. We took lots of breaks and kept it short. If doc says okay, just go gently and dont overexert.
