Is Travelling Okay During Pregnancy?

default
Posted on Fri, 2 Jan 2015
Question: I am in 27th week of my FIRST pregnancy. All reports are normal till now. I am currently working and planning to travel to my native for the delivery. I am planned to travel by 35th week / 36th week (1st / 2nd week of Feb 15). Travel Plan would be either by train/Car. Travel time would be 10 hours in train or 7-8 hrs if it’s by Car. Is this would be the ideal to travel such distance? What are the ideal factors to be considered to finalize the travel? Please suggest

Brief Answer:
train is better

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, I understand your problem.
Train is better than car because of less chances of hurdles and a steady course of travel whereas car has a bumpy ride most of the times.
Only problem in train is hygiene of toilets so better avoid going there as much as possible and use lounges at station if there is a halt of 15-20 mins.
Wish you a safe journey.

See ideal is to travel in mid January but if important to stay till Feb then train travel is very safe.
But there should be some attendent along like your husband or mother so as to help you in all the stuff needed.
