Cut-off for air travel and/or wanting to travel?

  A lot of airlines have restrictions, like not flying in the last month without a doctor's note.  Cruise ships won't let you in the last trimester no matter what. 

  If you are just taking a drive everyone says you should do it in your second trimester 'cause you can still get around well and you have energy.

  I am planning to travel for work through only through my 2nd tri, 'cause my doc vetoed a flight to Canada (I am in NM) at 32 weeks.  She says its fine to drive as long as I feel comfortable, but to be honest I'm considering cancelling the work trip (last one) I've planned for week 27- I'm starting to get paranoid about being away from home and DH for too long the further along I am in my pg.

  But yours is for pleasure and DH will be there- so a personal choice I think, airline/cruise restrictions notwithstanding.

  restrictions will depend on your doctor and the airlines. My doc restricted all travel (further than 2 hours away) for the last month.

  I think 37 weeks is the cut off for air travel.

  It varies by airline. It should say somewhere on their website but you generally have to search for it. It will also depend on what restrictions your dr places on travel. I traveled at the beginning of my 3rd tri from Denver to Vegas and even though it was a short flight, it was a bit difficult for me. If you can travel prior to your 3rd tri, you'll have more energy and just be more comfortable.
