Brief Answer:
The travel can be risky.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.

The travel can be risky. Your doctor is right.

This is because the baby is very small and cannot take stress.

During train travel invariably there is certain amount of stress. That stress though small for the mother is sufficient to harm the fetus.


I will also advise you not to travel.

Feel free to consult me directly
