My family is planning a trip, and I'm pregnant. I'm wondering about the general guidelines for travelling during pregnancy. Is it allowed, and are there any precautions I should know about?
Travelling is generally very safe, especially in the second trimester, but your gynac's green signal is absolutely mandatory. They check your placenta position and cervix length before giving permission. If the doc says yes, just take basic precautions like staying hydrated.
If your doctor allows it, go for a baby moon now because once the baby comes, even going to the local grocery store feels like planning an international mission! Just avoid bumpy auto rides and drink lots of bottled water. Enjoy the free pampering while you can!
Oh god, I was so terrified of travelling and kept thinking about speed breakers and jerks! Even though my doc said yes, I avoided long road trips entirely. If you really have to go, please ask your doctor twice and carry all your medical files.
I am in my second trimester and we are planning a short trip, but honestly, I am so anxious about the bumpy Indian roads! Did any of you travel during your fourth or fifth month? How did you manage the car rides?
