Would you rather?

Would you rather be 6 months pregnant and take a 10-12 hour drive with your husband and 2 year old for vacation or take a 4-1/2 hour flight?

 MH and I are debating and I'm interested to see what other moms say...thanks!

I rather fly even if I'm not pg.  I hate long car rides!

I think the car ride.  Only because at first thought-we could stop as needed and we wouldn't be trapped 30000 feet in the air.  I'm just thinking that smells and stuff make me nauseaus and being trapped for 4 1/2 hours might not be a good thing.  At least in the car, we could stop-it would be us and DS could scream and not bother anyone but us.  Maybe I'm not thinking of something, but that's what I think I'd do.

Good Luck

I was 6 months pregnant when we took a 9 hour car ride with 21 month old ds. It wasn't bad. DS enjoyed the trip.

flight hands down for me

We drove from KS to ND and back (14 hours each way) when I was about 22 weeks and then moved when I was 26 weeks.  At 26 weeks, I drove the whole way alone in a vehicle with my 23 mo old.  I got good at changing DVD's while driving.

you'd have to hold a gun to my head to make me take a 2 year old on a 12 hour car ride.  I don't think the pregnancy really matters either way.

it's close to a toss-up. if the flight is 4.5 hours, you'll need to driev to the airport and be there at least 1.5 hours early....which could bring the travel time close to 8 hours depending on where you live.

we took DS on a 10 hour car ride at 1 year and it was actually kind of fun. we stopped often and when he slept we listened to a book on CD. We looked at the drive as family time so we just didn't rush to get to our destination. Money was another consideration for us - flights were pretty pricy and we would have had to rent a car/crib etc. Do you have a portable DVD player?

either way i hope you have a great time!

Fly, no question.
