Make sure you drink water and lots!!! You dehydrate much faster in the car and it will sneek up on you. I was traveling all weekend and even with drinking some water some other beverages I ended up dehydrated and dizzy today

I went to Dallas from Detroit driving at 12/13 weeks pregnant. I was fine, a little sick but fine. Just make sure you stretch, rest and drink fluids! Have fun xox

I'll be 32 weeks and my husband is driving us 23 hours to our home state then I'll be almost 35 weeks when we travel back. My midwife said no traveling after 34 weeks because we are on the army healthcare so if we don't have the baby at the hospital I've been getting my care I won't have any medical costs covered. Just stop frequently and stretch. drink lots of water and bring a comfy pillow!

Agreed to the stoppin an stretching.
If u don't it can cause blood clots.
But be careful. I went to va a month ago to see family, and we almost got hit 3times. Crazy drivers. My nerves were shot

There is nothing wrong with traveling. Your body doesn't care what location you're in. Just eat and stay hydrated like you would at home.
