Oh I'm in my 5th month and already scared of car journeys. Are you going by road or flight? Do check with your gynac once.

Kamla Mishra · Answer

My doctor said flying is usually safe until 36 weeks if there are no complications, but road trips on bumpy roads should be avoided. Definitely get a medical clearance certificate first.

I traveled in my 7th month just for a babymoon to eat local food! But please keep healthy snacks with you and consult your doctor before booking anything.

Janaki Chakraborty · Answer

Oh god, please carry all your medical files and research nearby hospitals on the route just in case! My doctor cleared my travel but I kept overthinking everything.

Please ask your gynac first, every pregnancy is different. If they give green light and there are no complications, only then travel.

Beta, 7th month is delicate. Avoid bumpy roads and long journeys. If you must go, take frequent breaks and keep a water bottle with you.

Uff, sitting on a seat for 2 hours makes my back ache so much right now. Travel is too tiring in 7th month. Ask your gynac if your body is ready for it.

I felt so anxious traveling in my 7th month for a family emergency. We went by train which was comfortable, but I kept walking a bit to avoid leg swelling.
