Hi,
I can understand your concern.
Pregnancy is delicate for first 3.5 months- for till then it's connection with mother's womb is not firm. Placenta is yet to form. So Any excessive stress/ strain may cause problem.
- though short travelling with comfort can be allowed, you's is a hectic journey. I would advice to avoid strain at this stage of pregnancy.
- still, if it's essential to go, please advice your treating doctor, after assessing your physical examination,USG scanning- if doctor finds it's permissible, you can travel with utmost care & hormonal support ( prescribed by your doctor)to your baby.
Thanks.
