Brief Answer:
Precautions advised

Detailed Answer:
I personally don't recommend travel in case of bleeding or subchorionic hemorrhage but if it is important then train is the safest mode of transport.
But always carry her full file of investigations and prescription so that in case needed then medical advise is well customized.
I have seen the attached reports and there is nothing abnormal except a hematoma which will resolve by itself in 2-3 weeks.
All the best.

Hello Doctor,

Thank you for your reply. We are starting today evening. So do you see that this hematoma is small in size and will not impact by travel and will go by itself? We are scared but still cannot avoid travel so just praying god everything should be ok.

Thanks

Brief Answer:
Simple precautions advised

Detailed Answer:
Yes dear, everything will be fine and just try that she takes it steadily and avoid jumping etc as you must be knowing already.
Also she should stay on lower XXXXXXX and rest as much as possible during travel.
Since it is second AC tickets so nothing to worry from crowding part.
All the best and have a safe journey
