Is Travelling Safe With Low Risk Pregnancy?

i am 18weeks pregnant, I have taken a triple test today and the result is low risk. The ultrasound report says that my placental is posterior and 2.5 cms proximal to internal Os. Is this is concern? I am planning visit my parents in a month or two. I need to travel approx. 24 kms by car and another 4.5hrs by flight. I want to know whether this is ok or not? In addition to this I will definitely consult a gyn for a confirmation of this travel.

HI,
I have read your query carefully, and would try to advise to my best.
The triple test with low risk result indicates a low possibility of fetal abnormality.
The test is advised in patients with own / family history of fetal abnormality. At your stage of pregnancy, travel as you describe.. ( by car & then by plain).. seems to be permissible.. provided car journey is on a smooth road, ( without jerks )
You should get a physical examination done before you start( as you are planning ). take the medicines advised ( if any ) during your stay out stations.
thanks.
