Hi,
I understand your problem.
It is safe to travel by air in case of healthy pregnancy ,up to 28 weeks of pregnancy. You are already 30 weeks, I don't think air travel companies would allow air travel after 28 weeks. Please check with company rules & plan any travel.
- Br train it is safe to travel in pregnancy even after 28 weeks. even if it's a long journey. Provided-
- Treating doctor has approved the travel, the pregnancy is normal,without any problems in past.Proper advice / medicines are prescribed to prevent pain during travel.
- There is proper reservation of a comfortable class in train. Lady should travel with ease/ leisure.
- The journey is direct. Does not consist of change of train/other vehicle in between..
* I would say,travel at 30 weeks of pregnancy, with history of pains at 5th month-should be only done if very much needed. Advice of treating doctor should be taken before travel.
Thanks.
