Is it safe for a pregnant woman to travel long distance?

For me, if it is not risky for you to travel why not travel, and if your pregnancy is safe i mean your uterus is well and you have no problem about it since the day you know you are pregnant maybe you can, but if your not sure about your condition you must be better go see a doctor and ask for some advices they know better. But come to think of it, it is between your sister's support or the risk of your baby and youself.

Many warm congratulations to you on your pregnancy purple2sie! Since you are already into your second trimester, you should have not much problem with the travel. The first and the last trimester, that is, first 3 months and the last three months are when you should be really careful. Since you will be going by the car, you can always stop every two hours for some rest and leg stretches. That will ensure you do not stress yourself much and there is no swelling on your feet. If you have absolutely no other complications and are having a generally good health even during your pregnancy, I think you can undertake this journey. Whoever is driving, I think you said your father, you and others with you can make sure that he is driving with extra care and not speeding beyond safe limits for you. Go by all means, but only if you and your husband feel confident! Otherwise explain to your sister gently and with your condition, tehre is no way she would not understand.

When my wife was pregnant we did a lot of travel, however she was a good traveler and used to it. If she was not comfortable with traveling I would not have taken her. Wish your sister well and tell her maybe next time.

I think that you should talk to your doctor first. Your doctor may be in a better position to tell you. Sometimes, it is normal for you to get a little dizzy. I took the train the other day, and I have to admit that looking out the window made me a little dizzy. So I can understand that it is normal. But you should still talk to your doctor and figure out the best way to do it.

I am not so sure whether- maybe you an just ask another doctor? As long as you are okay, no complications and no more morning sickness and dizziness. I found a website which has more information.. http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancyhealth/travel.html

Friend early 4 to 5 months no problems but 7 months after it is very risky. You are 4 months pregnant then no problem because I remember when my bhabhi completed 5 months they she went to long distance journey she not faced any problem. But you are not fit and you are weak then concern your Dr. and take suggestion.

Early pregnancy like 4 to 16 weeks a lady must be careful and traveling on a long journey at that time wouldn't be wise. The best time to travel in pregnany is after 16 weeks and before the last trimester. I traveled on a 12 hour flight when I was 18 weeks pregnant and felt fine. I would advise you to stay at home because you tend to get dizy in your dads car. You need to take care and it is your first pregnancy. Good luck if you do decide to go.

Since you have a trip by car, so perhaps it is better than going there by air plane. However, it is a long time. So you will feel very tired. I suggest you to have some stops during the journey. Such as having a break when your dad drives a few hours or even live in the motel for a few hours to take a rest. Go around for sightseeing for a while. Make this trip easier and I think it will be fine for you. I love China

I suggest you stay for the sake of your baby and your health....10 hours travel can be very exhausting and if you easily get dizzy then you might not enjoy too. Your sister will understand your situation and if you'll ask her maybe she'll answer no too. Be safe!

Its better to consult your doctor first, if you are not at risk in your pregnancy, it's just right because you are using your own vehicle, you can stop anytime you wanted. When I was pregnant, my doctor's gave me medicine to take for that situation, as if duvadilan but i'm not sure about it , so better see your doctor for proper prescription.
