We have a family function out of town next month and i will be around 5 months by then. A bit nervous about the long journey, is it okay to travel at this stage? would love to hear from those who travelled during pregnancy.
It depends on how your pregnancy is going. If everything is smooth, usually fine, but please confirm with your gynac before any long trip or flight. They know if there's any reason to avoid it.
Mostly yes, especially in the second trimester which is the comfortable phase. Take breaks, stay hydrated and carry your reports. Just avoid very bumpy roads and long trips close to the due date, and get a quick okay from your gynac.
I travelled for work right through the middle months, just kept it short and comfy. Aisle seat, water, snacks, and walk a bit on long journeys. Always tell your doctor your travel plans first na.
You can travel yaar, just dont overdo it. Pack light, rest enough, carry your medicines. Dont stress, plenty of us travelled during pregnancy just fine.
