She is also having a fibroid measuring 6.3 * 5.5 cms in lower anterior wall. Is there any thing is to worry about? can she travel for some time? what precaution should I take?

Hello sir.
The presence of a fibroid in the uterus especially during pregnancy takes up the space within which should otherwise be taken up by the growing fetus.
Depending on the size of the fibroid, this can result in complication in pregnancy (eg. Threathened abortion), for this reason you should keep in touch with your wifes doctor and keep regular check ups, in order to avoid any/all complications.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
