Is it safe to travel a long distance by car during the first trimester?
My husband and I plan to visit his family by driving from California to Montana. It will take us about 2 days each direction. I will be 7-8 weeks pregnant at that time. Is it safe for me to travel so long in a car? BTW, I am 5 weeks along right now & have no morning sickness.
I asked my dr the same thing for my trip coming up.. 8 hours long. He told me that it is VERY important to stop every hour - hour and a half and walk around for a few minutes. He said that pregnant women could get blod clots and that it is something very major.
So, he said get out and walk every hour or two and I'll be fine and to stay hydrated.
