Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Travel during pregnancy depends on whether you have any pain or any history of abortion in the past. If the baby's growth is normal in the scans. How long is the travel. Do you have nausea or high blood pressure or any other problem. How many hours of journey are you planning in one day?
When was your last check up done? It is best to consult your treating gynecologist for permission to travel or not. In case she allows then do have home made meals, take all your medicines along, take frequent stretch breaks and do not travel for more than 2-3 hours in a day.
Hope this answer is helpful.
Any follow up queries are welcome.

You are planning to travel 300 kms in one day by road. It should take at least 4 hours on one side including the city traffic. This is a too hectic schedule and can cause preterm labor pains. You need to get yourself examined by your gynecologist and ask for her permission.
Hope this answers your questions.
