We have a family wedding in another city and im 14 weeks now. Thinking of going by train, par thoda confused if its the right time or i should wait. Anyone travelled in second trimester, how was it?
The second trimester is usually considered the safest and most comfortable time to travel. I traveled around my 20th week and had a very smooth trip, but my gynac advised me to avoid long journeys in the first and third trimesters. Always check with your doctor before booking anything.
Beta, elders in our house always say to avoid heavy traveling, especially in the starting months when the baby is settling. If u really have to go somewhere, keep some ginger or cardamom with you for nausea and don't lift any heavy bags. Do ask your doctor first before planning.
I traveled in my fifth month and it was safe, but I had to plan my meals very carefully because of my sugar levels. Carry your own healthy snacks like roasted makhana and dry fruits so u dont end up eating junk outside. Make sure you don't stay seated for too long without stretching.
I am just trying to conceive right now, but my cousin traveled during her second trimester and she was perfectly fine. I think starting months are a bit delicate, so avoiding bumpy road trips is probably better, na? Hope this helps u!
I went to my parents' house in my fifth month by train and it was very comfortable. My parents and husband made sure I didn't strain myself or carry any bags at all. Moving around during the mid-pregnancy months is quite safe, just take your doctor's okay first.
My doctor told me that weeks 14 to 28 are the best window for travel since the risk of complications is lowest and energy levels are high. He advised me to take a copy of my prenatal reports and take regular walking breaks every 2 hours to avoid blood clots. Safe travels depend heavily on how your pregnancy is progressing.
