Travel while pregnant?

[NavyMomTX]

Any mother's traveled long distances late in their pregnancy? What did your doctor recomend? How did things turn out after your travel?

You should be fine. I traveled 14 hours one way for my fathers funeral. Just allow time for bathroom breaks and stretching.

Traveled at 29 weeks to San Antonio, TX for 4 days from Charolette, NC. I'm currently 33 weeks and 1 day today and plan on traveling to Missouri on the 26th of this month making me  35 weeks. It was fine no issues, problems... Nothing. Baby didn't lik being in high altitudes but other den that... Everything went fine.

Anything from like 32-40 weeks I wouldn't do anything more then a day trip MAYBE to another state. Its just not ideal to be away from home and ur comforts in case something happend.

We had to move our cruise up because they didn't allow expecting moms after 24 weeks.

My doc said international travel is ok up until 32 weeks, domestic travel ok up until 36 weeks.  After 36 she suggested staying near home and not experiencing large changes in elevation.  She said if u can avoid it,  no 3rd world countries while prego. We did travel to the 3rd world at 6 weeks as it was so early I had not been to the doc yet.  Everything was fine, I was just very careful to follow the food and water rules.  We're going to hawaii at 24 weeks for a babymoon and just local travel besides that :) congrats and here's to happy prego traveling for u!

How late in your pregnancy?  Are you flying or driving? Some airlines have a limit on how close to your due date you are allowed to travel, some even require a signed doctors note confirming your due date before they let you board. So if you are flying double check with the airline you are flying with for their rules for pregnant women. You can drive closer to your due date than flying but my doctor told me I needed to get out of the car every hour to hour and a half and walk for several minutes before continuing.
