HI,
Thanks for the query.
Pregnancy in 7th month, having high blood pressure & travel by bus ( with possibility of jerks due to bad roads & exertion of constant sitting for 7 hours are the difficulties in Bus travel you are going to face.
Though the decision has to be your treating doctor's.. (as she would be best judge of your health ) if you ask me I would say NO to bus journey. You can travel by train/ plane with proper reservation & your treating doctor's advise.& advise of few preventive medicines on the way.
In case rail or Air ways are not available.. you should travel by private Taxi..( with a break journey in between ) with back seat reserved for you as a sleeping arrangement alo9ng with doctor's advise as suggested earlier.
- In case nothing suggested is possible it's safe to stay where you are with proper care of your doctor... your in laws can travel & stay with you.
Thanks.
