We have a family function out of station next month and i'll be around 5 months by then. MIL is saying ghum-na phirna avoid karo. Is travelling really a problem at this stage? sharing experiences would help.
Honestly, don't stress too much about travelling if your doctor has given you the green light! The second trimester is actually the best time for a babymoon, so just enjoy. Just avoid bumpy roads, take frequent breaks to stretch your legs, and keep snacking!
I am also planning to conceive soon and was wondering the same thing because my job involves a lot of commuting. From what I've gathered, short and comfortable travel is fine, but long journeys might be tiring. It's always comforting to know how others managed their daily travel during early months.
Beta, in our times we were advised to avoid travel during the first and third trimesters to prevent any strain. If you have to go, make sure you carry warm water, homemade dry snacks like makhana, and avoid outside food completely. Do not lift any heavy bags and take plenty of rest after reaching.
I totally understand how much you want to visit your family or go on a break, but your little baby's comfort comes first right now. If your heart feels anxious about travelling, it is better to rest at home and pamper yourself. Listen to your maternal instinct, dear, and take it very easy.
Please be extremely cautious, especially in the first trimester which is very delicate. After my past loss, I completely avoided any travel and stayed on rest as much as possible. If you must travel, please get a proper clearance from your gynac first and avoid any jerks or long journeys.
