Can A Pregnant Woman Go On A Road Trip?
Question: Hello, currently i am 5 weeks pregnant and have a situation in the next week to travel by road for 6 hours(in car as a passenger). Is this fine to travel or should i just avoid it?
Brief Answer:
Can travel.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Road travel can be done in early pregnancy, provided the roads are not bumpy and the journey is smooth.
Travelling at high speed should be avoided.
If the above criteria is met, then you can travel by road at this Gestational age.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Take care.
