Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Your doctor has advised right. Bumpy long journeys can cause miscarriage. It is better to avoid such journeys. You should avoid much movement. Get your ultrasound evaluation of your pregnancy before travel and get it read by your Doctor as well. If there is no contraindication, you may go on the journey.

Hi
Welcome to HCM
Read your prob, you should avoid travelling during first 3month n last 3 month as during that period there is more chance of complications. you can travell 12 wk to 24th wk. this is safe for treavelling if you have no other pregnancy related complication.
